be the only special person in the world or everyone in the world is equal? I've heard of a phrase before about everyone being special and I thought, that's sounds like BS. If everyone is "special" wouldn't it be "normal" to be "special"? If that is the case then "special" would lose its meaning. So I thought, what if we take it to extremes? One scenario would be you're the only special one. Like a god among men but without supernatural powers. Just something like fame and fortune, brains and brawns, or you know something like that. The other scenario would be everyone born equal. Everything is standard. No one's faulty. No one's better than the other. I honestly can't flesh it out much but something along those lines. Personally, I think I'm leaning more on being the special person. I hate attention. But that beats being this cookie-cutter human in a cookie-cutter world. Wbu?
Special of course... Everyone being equal is hardly a sign of an utopia... After all, if everyone is wealthy, famous, attractive, what ever have you, then nobody is...
True extreme equality is like akin to a mundane world, if everyones the exact same in talent, looks etc, There'll be no people that will be able to progress the world as i remember those inventors are a special kind of people. And let's say all of those people have equal amount of genius and talent, there'll be no comparisons and no reasons to feel proud of your being, as what you can do others can too.
So many misguided people in the world, I won't be surprised haha. That's actually what was troubling me about the equal world, there would be no progress. There might not even a need to do so
Grass is always greener on the other side. I can imagine having paparazzi on you for a scandal might have you feel that way at times. But then you comfort yourself with your billions while people would kill to trade with you.
ha? it about perspective no? this cat special cuz this cat think this cat special but that cat think this cat just same as those cat over there, while some cats busy argue which cat better despite part of the cat group who fighting just for the sake of fighting, meanwhile other group of cat kinda still not reach conclusion what cat trait can be used to set as default trait to examine this is common this uncommon, munchkin say they are cute while angora said shorty then come the most countable cat the mix, which said those special breed just overrated, overreacted and so on blablabla basically this cat will munching cake while you overwhelm by thought of special, equal or nobody
I wouldn't call it being overwhelmed haha. Also, can I have a cake slice too? In the face of billions, they don't seem so bad anymore. Maybe I'm slave to money...
I choose absolute equality. At least I wouldn’t be dissatisfied since I wouldn’t even realize/care I’m not special. If I’m the only special one, I’d be burdened with being the only person able to progress humanity. Also it’d be fucking lonely since everyone else is just more or less the same. I can’t guarantee being special wouldn’t make me suicidal eventually
It'll be overwhelming when the eyes of the entire human population are looking at you. That pressure alone will be extremely immense. If you fuck up everyone will know you done fucked up, one mistake will cost heavily. Unless you're the kind of special that does not make mistakes, special enough to recover your misdoings(like righting your mistakes, idk how to phrase it), or special enough to not give a damn. Idk how will you live with that.
