Nothing is created equal. No person, no thought, no idea, no worldview is equal to another. Never has been and never will be. This idea that we are all Super SpecialSnowflakes is a justification of the weak. A way to hold on to the idea that YOU are somehow special, somehow perfect.
Most hold onto this idea for one reason: fear. The crawling fear that whispers in the back of your head that you are less than others. That your ideas suck, that you're less intelligent, that your worldview would crumble under scrutiny. The ugly truth is that voice is right.
You're worldview is built on quicksand and will crumble upon inspection. You're ideas do suck and you are less intelligent than others. All of us have people that are superior in some way to us in the pecking order of the world.
Part of letting go of egalatarianism is realizing you have weaknesses. Things you need to improve on, holes in your logic, gaps in your knowledge. I view any weakness i find in myself an opportunity advancement, something new to learn. When the glaring gaps in my logic are pointed out, i am grateful. It gives me an opportunity to become stronger, to become one of the mighty.
As long as one believes "all is equal", the longer they live a life of weakness, clinging to an unwillingness to learn. This stunts one's growth on the LHP. I should know. I am a recovering egalatarian.
