Advance to help Humanity

How do you reach that conclusion exactly? Besides, I'm much more interested in striving for equality than in creating it from the offset. But as I have already mentioned, this would naturally be an impossible state of affairs to hold on to for any amount of time. To strive for it and to wish it were absolutely so all of the time - those are extremely different things. You seem to always be taking God's POV whence I am merely talking the mortal's one, perhaps that's why you're so unabashedly misconstruing what I'm actually saying.

No, I don't see that, and neither do you, apparently. You didn't actually provide any reason for your unwaranted conclusion, you just forced it down my throat out of the blue.

But this is beside the point. As I already mentioned and alluded at, we're not Gods, also it's reasonable to say that there is no being with godlike powers since we don't know of such a being as yet, so --- we can't assume that we'll ever make it so that everyone's either created equal or suddenly becomes equal, in any way you choose to understand the word. Of course, as you already pointed out, I think, the concept of equality itself wouldn't make sense anymore but why linger on it? How could there be chaos in perfect order -- that's exactly what you yourself described--? But, again, I'm getting sidetracked here. We can't hope to achieve such a drastic level of change, at least not realistically and reliably in the world we currently inhabit. We can only hope to move towards that goal - but that's all. That's where the dream ends -- in it's hopeful application. Why jump to such unnerving conclusions as you did? Certainly, I wasn't talking about such extremes, not in the least.
