it's hard for me to even start commenting on this since i have so many things to say, however...

it is extremely important to differentiate between the types of equality that exist. not to mention strength.

second, humanity has all but removed itself for nature. we've transcended darwinism, for one. the weak only serve the strong in nature because the weak will die otherwise, and we all know that isn't true now. the fact that you are displaying these words on a computer is clear evidence enough that "the natural progress of evolution is damaged" therefore, that relationship has not practical application now, ESPECIALLY considering the fact that we have the technology to completely eliminate physical need in its entirety and at the same time, completely abolish the hierarchy which subverts almost the entire world population. you don't even need to look closely to see that social darwinism, hierarchy, patriarchy, and other systems in which individuals are placed "higher" than others are THE REASON why people aren't coexisting peacefully with each other.

equality is not a natural concept, no. however, unlike creatures that exist in nature, we as humans differentiate between life and the quality of life - being alive and able to reproduce isn't enough - and experience complex emotions. as a species, we seek happiness, possibly and probably to a degree greater than we seek survival. with this understanding, to an almost moral degree, we as a species, should do what is perfectly in our power and create a society in which equality exists and where people are permitted to live out both their strengths and weaknesses happily.

and there's more, but i don't feel like typing anymore.
