whether it matters from a particular point of view should not obscure the fact that underlying differences exist. we would dearly love to be exactly what we wish to be, but it is a disgrace to deny we are not all we wish to be, and the part of us that is not as we wish is just as salient as they part we are thankful for.
To resent reminders of parts of what we are that is not what we wish is small minded, and ultimately an indication of profound moral dishonesty. one might say the main reason to do this is a desire to pull a fast one in the name of a “good cause”.
There is nothing fundamentally different between resenting what Dawkins said and trump claiming to be “very stable genius”, or christians claiming “i am saved”.
