> Equality means things are measurably the same.
No I think you're loading the meaning of equal. No one would say "you and I are equal" and expect that we're clones.
> That’s why you’ll often see folks talk about “equality of opportunity.” Not equality in general; equality as an input.
People talk about equality of opportunity because that's the circumstances that people concluded recognize human dignity and autonomy.
As soon as you begin the path of equal outcomes, you're talking an expansive micro-managing state optimizing for variables they scarcely understand.
And fundamentally there's a lack of faith in people as capable human beings that can manage the affairs of their own life and work to lead the life they want by their own endeavor. It's paternalism.
