Its a bastardized version of equality we call equity
There's only one way to make people truly equal, and I don't want to do that
Yeah, and the scary part is that people seem to be taking it and running with it.
Nah, because even then not everyone is truly equal.
Somebody would be in a part of the world with a nicer climate or something.
No one would be able to tell, though
Peterson said that the idea of equality is subjective
*I'm talking about extinction here*
oh. lol. Yeah, that would work.
Yeah, there's atleast 3 different definitions of equality, and even then it's basically impossible to really apply in practice.
Equality is when one object is identical to another
Oh wait, you're not talking about programming
Nah, we're talking more in a social sense between people.
Like I said, very subjective
So the two forms of equality between people I've heard of so far are Equality of Opportunity and Equality of Outcome
What's the third?
Still, extinction is the only guaranteed equality
Equality of Ability?
that makes about as much sense as equality of dick length
I remember Haidt used several definitions of equality in his stuff.
The one that I would tend towards personally is equality under the law.
But that's not really a philosophical position itself.
One could say that's equivalent to Equality of Opportunity
I mean its the same as opportunity id say
It's more applied, if anything.

Well, not necessarily
It wouldn't necessarily be a perfect overlap with complete Equality of Opportunity
You assume I am capable of speech
Well like two people should receive the same punishment for the same action.
Equality under the law has some weird practical questions attached, like does it include equally skilled representation in court?
Same as people should receive the same reward for the same action
Ultimately, it's funny, because there's so many definitions of equality and not everyone agrees, we'll never be happy.
The research I've seen says what people want is "fairness" which is very close to what Ginga Bomber is saying.
But it's not an entirely defined concept.
But it emerges at a very, very young age.
I want to have equality of equality
That seems like the most logical conclusion
Not that animal farm some are more equal than others bs
Once everybody agrees on a standard definition for equality then we can move forwards with making it a reality
