The Interesting number paradox implies that everyone is indeed special. At least everyone who is a member of a countable set.

There is something unique about everything.  The word special is loaded however and the OP won't define his terms.

No not looking at it that way.  That's why the term needs to be defined imo.

As stated by Tyler Durden:

"You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

And that is fucking brilliant. Neither Burgess or Orwell were able to capture the essence of fascist ideology in so few words.
