As for "being paranoid"-comments, haha, just look at the world.. Look at it! What the funk are we doing as a species on this planet? Are we not all truly equal? Why do we pretend otherwise? Well, that's another discussion 
we all truly equal?.. is a grammar paradox
..we are all unique, just like everyone else..
You misunderstand my use of the word. I mean equal in terms of worth & importance and that all hierarchies we create are merely ideas we can choose to agree or not agree upon.
Maybe "equals" would be better suited.
