Don't believe everything you read. Vonnegut is an author, not a prophet.

  Totally irrelevant; this isn't a matter of the author being one thing or another. The point Vonnegut makes in the story is a philosophical one, namely that a blind pursuit of equality is wicked and inhuman, which is transparently correct.

    Arguing that point with a fictional novel seems incredibly opaque, inefficient, and sometimes disingenuous.

        Your comment isn't nearly as clever or original as you think it is.

          At least it was clear, efficient and sincere!

      Sometimes fiction is the best way to express truth.
