Well, if we were all identical then humanity would be a dead thing, a non conscious thing.
We may only exist in the area of attempting consciousness, but at least the attempt is real. The individualism expressed illustrates such condition - rather well.
On way to see it... is that there is no moving forward in humanity without differences and argument. Getting along perfectly is ultimately the death of us all - the death of any human future.
Recognizing this is both good and bad. It may be that the more equal or balanced this difference (even in this ’self awareness’), the better off we are. And it being debatable is a good thing, a core thing, a required thing. Uglies are necessary, it turns out....without it we’re dead in the water.
Ouch.
