Society dictates, like, societal inequalities? I have no better term on hand. Society can do nothing about your innate fitness, intelligence, or temperment, yes, but it can do something about your voting ability, employment prospects, medical treatment, and so on.

"Social inequalities" almost all exist because fitness, intelligence and temperament aren't evenly distributed among groups and there need to be a default set of rules that let society function. I know two gay couples that are pretty functional - gay liberation still caused AIDS

I would like you to trust that the subject of biogenic inequality has been studied, as well as the subjects of comparative performance of various groups in identical challenges and of comparative social/medical/monetary outcomes.

I would like you to trust me because I have to go to sleep and don't care to pull sources at this time. Purely: if two individuals are equally qualified for a purpose, they should be equally likely to be employed for it. As an example.

That would be a point of societal equality. Inborn inequalities, of whatever sort, are God's problem, is what I meant.

Ha ha only serious, right? We have laws against taking drugs so society can function - some people can't control themselves - will become a menace if they go down that road. Here's the thing though - different groups have different behavior distributions https://www.theonion.com/drugs-now-legal-if-user-is-employed-1819566391 …pic.twitter.com/FFZiMatJom

Having the same rules in this case for groups that have radically different behaviors is either tyrannical to one group or overly permissive for the other. This pattern exists in loads of areas and causes huge problems - equal rules are a bad idea.

No. You've put the cart before a goat. There is, essentially, one set of laws regarding illegal drugs; what is discussed there is unequal enforcement.

For the most part our society has chosen anarcho-tyranny - enforce the law harshly against upstanding people and don't enforce the law at all against criminals. It would be better to have the reverse. It would be even better to codify it.
