21. I certainly hope you are the only one.

Perhaps part of the problem is not realizing that humanity is incredibly diverse, and that is a very good thing. And while you might decide that attributes x, y, and z define perfection, if you were to eliminate all other traits from our genome we may not be able to rapidly diversify the next time our environment drastically changes.

What if the ability to easily store fat becomes more important as food supplies dwindle? Sure, obesity is deemed a fault when food is readily available and people who find it easy to remain what is defined as healthily thin are deemed more desirable, but what if that situation was flipped on it's head?

Similar arguments have been made for skin color, certain neurodiversities such as autistics or ADHD, and so on. Even things like being smaller or shorter than average can be a trait that is deemed "less than" in one environments yet provides a survival edge in a different one (see: resource limited islands).

Do you ever stop to think *why* we've been taught to think not conforming to a standard of perfection is somehow morally or practically "wrong"?
