> What happens to these people when full equality is achieved?
The bubonic plague still kills a few people every year in the United States. Worldwide, cases number in the thousands. Granted, biases and discrimination aren't proper diseases, but they come close given they spread with misinformation.
Isn't an expectation that we can 100% eliminate all that ills us irrational? Doesn't that make this question you ask a leading one?
A panacea for the human condition is not a thing. Suffering exists because of impermanence and will continue to do so through at least next week. That's not to say it's not worth fighting for, but I think any expectation that it can be "eliminated" puts us on the wrong footing for improving things over time.
At the least, it blind us to other truths which may be more evident, such as corporate greed and misuse of the technology we all carry around in our pockets now.

- BerislavLopac 6y ago> Crime free can happen without laws. This is true in a very literal sense.
- wolco2 6y agoLaws aren't necessary in extremely smaller groups. Do you and your dog need laws? You and your family probably have rules. Very small communities don't even have police. The larger the group the more need for laws to protect each other against ourselves.
