The TRUTH is that all people are not "created" equal, by any definable metric. Intelligence, athleticism, charisma, beauty... each are quantifiable and vary massively from person to person.
Hell, we don't even pretend to treat people equally under the law. See affirmative action, offering disability benefits, treatment of addicts, etc.
But I guess saying that makes me "not a true American" according to this facile, pretentious blog post by SV royalty.
Post should be called, "How to Pretend to Tell the Truth in Business."
- pdimitar 9y agoWe the people might not be created equal, but a part of us are aware that in some regards we're disadvantaged and we fight to overcome that disadvantage. So I don't understand your point.
- Danihan 9y agoMy point is that the statement literally isn't truthful in any meaningful way, only symbolically at best -- so it's ironic to make it the centerpiece of a blog post about "honesty".
