I wish by 2026 society would have shaken itself out of the idea that all people are the same.

We are as diverse in appearance and variety of abilities as there are dog breeds.

> I wish by 2026 society would have shaken itself out of the idea that all people are the same.

If you called me woke, I would say, sure, if by woke you mean that I believe racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and other bigotries exist both within individuals and as attributes of the systems that people build and we ought to strive to fix that.

I also believe that intelligence is multidimensional such that representing it as a single number is nonsense, and it is not transitive either.

But I do not believe all people are the same. Who does?

Almost nobody has ever claimed that everyone is the same. That's not what "all men are equal" means. What it means is that everyone has the same inherent human rights.
