Cultural-diversity PROVABLY increases patent-rate: immigration is, done right, economic gold.

Notice I said “done right”: Sweden’s doing it wrong, & getting highjacked.

Years ago, I read that in Germany, homeschooling was illegal…

& my animal-reaction against that was: “that is WRONG”.

through the years, though, seeing how cults use “education” as a means of highjacking countries … finally I understood the rightness of their position, ON CONDITION THAT the state-education was being done right.

( which it isn’t, here in the Americas, no idea how well the EU people are doing it )

Now I understand how excellent education is what is required, & it has to be state provided, & NOT dumbing-down, & not disempowering, & not one-size-fits-all ( obliterating diversity-of-potential for sake of institutional-comfort/establishment )…

Understand that Leninism & fascism both eradicate critical-thinking for sake of … imprint-reaction programming “education”, & that identifies the required-standard for education: 80% of the population NEEDS to be competent in critical-reasoning, consistently, XOR you’re sinking, as a country.

In the US, that isn’t doable: it’s a lost cause.

Now consider what’s required to deal with disagreements:

Ideology/prejudice holds that it is the PERSON that is the problem, & conforming/obedience is the only “right” way…

Critical-thinking, however, is issue centered, & it works best when the issue is diagrammed, visual-spacially, this-depends-on-that, this-choice-decides-between-these-2-paths, etc…

until the people considering the meaning can SEE the Pattern of its implications & consequences, see?

Issue-diagrams are THE required means for civilization to survive The Great Filter.

Get the animal-reacting programming out from the process, XOR we’re DarwinAward’d as a whole species, this century.

The evidence I linked-to, above, shows that cultural-diversity increases economic generation-of-inventions … but ideology doesn’t care what evidence says.

What makes some person “illegal”?

The fact that some legalism decided they’re illegal?

XOR their values?

XOR their religion?

XOR their skin-color?

XOR their gender?

XOR their ancestry?

XOR their location?

Here’s a question that your conservative friend will be dealing-with, soon:

Trump put-in-place a 2-sided “coin”, to activate later.

1-side of that “coin”, ICE, is nearly-completely in-place ( though the incinerators aren’t yet being built: those will begin being built when dictatorship’s instantiated ).

The de-naturalization law, however, he’s been just leaving alone…

Once dictatorship’s established ( probably the Insurrection Act, possibly Martial Law, if any terrorism hands him “jutification” ), then he’ll de-naturalize all non-Republicans.

Suddenly, ALL Democrats become “illegals”.

How does your conservative friend feel about that?

Right there, you’re going to face the difference between thinking vs ideological-programming.

I hope they think, but … it’s their choice.

All the Trump-supporters who have been deported ( US Citizens, green-card people, & illegal-immigrants too ) all are evidence that their view isn’t objective: they believed that the harm wouldn’t touch them, then it did.

Objectivity & correct-reasoning both are required, but so is worldview-adapting-to-evidence, NOT worldview-fighting-off-evidence-that-won’t-obey, right?

---

Try issue-diagramming, so the entire Pattern of each issue is visible, simultaneously, & see if better-quality communication can happen then.

Pencil & paper’s fine.

Each node/decision having “pros” closer to the goal, & “cons” on the other side of it, away from the goal…

& see how the decisions form a structure, complete with dependencies.

Maybe that’ll help clarify things…
