Our society has a lot of pretty privilege (and tall privilege for male identifying humans). Taking steps to address this is welcome.


Why though?

Maybe the advantages are natural and our species is selecting for it.


"Advantages" are often to the individual's benefit, but the species' detriment.


I dunno...Wolves are pretty much endangered anywhere, but the cute and friendly ones became dogs and are everywhere.

Cats spread all over the world from the desert because of advantages.

Advantages mean you survive and procreate.


So ever-more vulture capitalists and lawyers, and ever-fewer actual honest workers?


Nature really doesn't give a crap whether or not others of yours species dominate you, nor how you feel about it.

Have a genetic legacy -- That's the only way you win. Or don't and be crying about it.


Maybe we’ll be happier overall if we select for other things.


Because we know better.


There's a word for that. Hubris.
