This is a totally open question to anyone.  It serves no great purpose.  I'm just curious to see the answers, and may or may not comment in return.

What of consequence do you and I have in common?  What are our major differences?

Be honest, think hard, answer seriously, and never be afraid to say "I don't know."

Remember:  "He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a wise man.  He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool.  But he who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a scholar."  (Aristotle, if memory serves.  But at this time of night it probably doesn't.)

Depends on what you regard as being "of consequence". It would be easy to cite things like age, gender and geography as being "of consequence" but I don't think they necessarily are.

Outlook on life is of more consequence than any of the above, and there are some interesting similarities and differences there, political and the like. On the whole, though, I think there are enough similarities of the "Meh, don't ask me to explain it in _words_" [handwave] type that we get along. And that's the important thing.
