I'm not hugely optimistic that we'll ever perfect equal opportunity, freedom of belief and expression, safeguarding the dignity and rights of the individual regardless of race/gender/sexuality, science, reason & progress. I just think trying to is better than not trying to.https://twitter.com/AnglerFishLure/status/954716281416093698 …

For real equal opportunity everyone would have to have the same genetics.... sounds like dystopia territory...

But that isn't what is meant by equal opportunity and you know this. It means that the opportunities are made available to everyone, not that everyone will have the skills to take advantage of them.

I think it is. Would you agree that granting a person with a really low IQ, (who isn't able to function properly in society) with a functional IQ would be giving them an opportunity? I do. We'll be there before I die I'm guessing. That's mostly my point, not trying to be obtuse.

You think people mean being genetically identical by equal opportunity? I think they mean not discriminating by race, gender, sexuality etc in deciding who has access to job opportunities.

I'm just looking at it as a goal to pursue. I took it to the extreme because you said "perfect equal opportunity". I'm not trying to argue tho it was just a comment... More sci-fi novel idea than argument.
