“What if »inequality is the necessary coefficient of the superfunctions of »unity?

If my body’s cells got into an argument over privilege?

I’d be dead before it got started.

… it seems to me that »diversity (read: inequality!) actually grants us powers in unity that are otherwise impossible under conditions of ‘total equality’.

Which doesn’t mean the discussion is off the table… but before we get all riled up and join our pet faction(s)… we might want to be aware of the context, and the dangers of too furious a pursuit… of an ideal that is (often) profoundly self-ironizing…

… of course the danger is overlooking cruel and institutionalized injustices that are embedded in the modern social context. I acknowledge and personally share the urgency of this motive, but often find myself at odds with the tactics (and some of the authorities) of this imperative.

This arguments in play usually orbit the »idea of individuals (and in/out groups). But that idea is a fiction, until it is enacted by its assertion… and for most of us, if we »actually became individuals?

We’d be dead pretty fast.”
