gollark: Are the same thing, as far as I know? It's like saying "C++ is simply a more developed version of C so technically we could say that C and C++ are equivalent".
gollark: That's not how equality works.
gollark: I am currently an atheist due to not having any good reason to believe anything else.
gollark: Not particularly. If you prevent everyone from learning maths, you'll run out of engineers and such, which would cause problems as you need them to make good yachts.
gollark: There's a difference between being somewhat selfish and actively trying to make everyone else worse off for no apparent reason.
