Hi All
At first glance this seems like a quite reasonable ideal. However, when reality sets in we see the difficulty.
Secular society lives by selective morality expressed as political correctness in one form or another to further its own aims. By definition, selective morality makes equality impossible.
It is often thought that selective morality leads to equality which is impossible since the acceptance of selective morality encourages the struggle to be the favored ones.
Simone Weil gives a too accurate description of equality since when contemplating it, we see how we are incapable of it because of the dominance of selective morality and what it subjectively supports.
Any thoughts?
"Equality is the public recognition, effectively expressed in institutions and manners, of the principle that an equal degree of attention is due to the needs of all human beings." Simone Weil
