Comment on Snowflake is such a weird insult as it seems to imply it's best to just be like everyone else
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 1 month agoThe way I think about it is that we’re all “snowflakes”. No two people are exactly the same. So while one can correctly claim to be unique that also applies to everyone else. It’s not like everyone else is the same but you’re unique. Also, being unique doesn’t automatically mean someone is better than others - one can also be uniquely bad.

I think you’ve stumbled on it yourself. If every person is unique and special, nobody can be singled out or given preferential treatment. That would be an impossible task to cater to ~6 billion or what ever we are at now, individually

We’re up to 8 billion now, it’s crazy

I kinda thought so. It is crazy. Incomprehensible
