The problem with the way "chosenness" is discussed is that nothing can be "chosen" in a vacuum. "Chosen" for what? Anyone chosen for anything is always chosen for a particular role, for a particular purpose. When this remains unspecified, it gives rise to the shallow thinking that underlies all of today's cultural obsessions with race, gender, and any other external attributes we all share.
