"Ever more, in our efforts to expand horizons of inclusion, we are
pondering the very nature of “personhood.” Most (feudal) societies
simply accepted as normal the notion of hierarchies of inherent worth
among humans, with the bottom layer often having - by law or theology
or custom - little to none. They generally justified this oppression
with incantations and assertions about superiority carried in families,
assertions that proved to be utterly worthless. Yes, the sons of kings
were generally taller, stronger and effectively smarter… because they
always had enough to eat and the best tutors."
