Isn't (part of) the problem that the way we are "the same" cannot be the way we
are "different", unless we render the claim vacuous by saying because we are
_all_ different this shared characteristic of being "different" is the respect
in which we are the same?

the way we are "the same", unless we render the claim vacuous by saying because
we are "_all_ different" this shared characteristic of being "different" is the
respect in which we are the same?
