We and humanity

Well, all humans are a member of humanity, but from there doesn't follow that you and I are a case of we otherwise for all usages of we.
I mean for morality if you and I have a different understanding of that we are not the same as we have the same understanding of morality.
In fact for a similar case of how to act, we don't necessary act the same, thus we are not a case of we act in the same manner.
That is basic sociology and part of how we are different for different sub-cultures within humanity.

So you and I are in the group of we, unless I am one of them. It is that simple.

Yeah, you are one of the special ones. You are one of the few, who are totally rational. But don't worry that you are a minority, we will still take care of you. ;)
So you are one of them and I am a part of we as the majority. That is all that matters. ;)

We are all very much alike, and yet we are all also very unique. It's a difference created by contextual perspective.

It's not always easy to do, but I think we can be cognizant of both perspectives simultaneously.

Well, I try, but yes, it is not easy.

I know we are, but what am I?

The joke is that if you watch out for that we, both "sides" use it as a social we, but seems to take for granted that it is universal for humanity as such.
I don't think it's much of a joke, but then again, my sense of humor has waned over the years.

I always thought it was a case of simply battering them with 'our' superior intellect, and if this fails, simply battering them. :D
