We don't all have the same access to things or the same opportunities or the same life path or the same types of intelligence - of which there are multiple - but that doesn't mean our potential and cognition is somehow less than others.
Those who attempt to define the value of others by the perceived importance of the categories or groups that they themselves benefit from being a part of only show their privilege and lack of consideration of the reality of those outside of themselves.
We all learn differently. We have different minds. We have different limitations. We have different strengths and weaknesses. We achieve at different rates. We understand things uniquely. We are diverse and wonderful that way. We all have something to offer the other in how we learn and how we perceive the world. Those differences are what make art and music and film and literature all so wonderful and distinct.
No one is less than for learning differently.
No one is less than for achieving at different rates.
No one is less than for having a different type of education.
There are 9 - 12 types of intelligence and criteria for measuring said intelligence. There are multiple types of cognition that neurotypical and neurodivergent people assess the world with.
No one is less than for not having what you have or not having the experience you had or not seeing things the way you do.
We are all unique and there is value in that uniqueness.
