i'm taking diversity to the most general definition.
But certain cultures have really shitty ideas that out to be shitcanned.
even if you both are talking about culture, there is a line between enjoying mexican food on some nights and making a part of town that speaks only Spanish and calls everyone white dirty Americans.
Is it a good idea to embrace pederasty because it's part of different cultures?
having a section of a city that is under sharia law is not a strong city. but forcing everyone to be Christian isn't a strength either.
Imagine if you have a goal, the goal is to win a math competition. One team has nothing but mathematicians. The other team has a cook, a carpenter, a telemarketer, a pizza delivery man, etc. Who do you think is more likely to reach the goal?
there needs to be something unifying. otherwise it doesn't matter if you have someone who can fit in the hole if they refuse to go through the hole
exactly. in genetics, the unifying force is life.
Tucker's argument wasn't that everyone needs to be the same; Tucker's argument was that there needs to be some common basis around which a functional society can be formed. Some minimum agreed upon cultural norms.
everyone in a country should at least speak 1 language. you can speak more but everyone needs to speak 1.
for example
well, i would say the goal changes and that's what I asked earlier. mentioning chaos in a box. What's the box?
In western cultures that is generally democratic participation in governance, separation of church and state, assumption of innocence, unbiased disinterested courts, rule-of-law, etc
Sharia law, for example, is fundamentally incompatible with western civilization.
an emphasis on individual rights too?
Not sure that's really the case anymore...and that's where ppl have a problem with diversity.
the west isn't very western currently
its like post-western
they don't know what the box is, what the goal is, what the foundation is. Diversity can only be a strength when there is a commonality.
in his genetic example. Change the species, you have a cat and a dog. Is that diversity a strength?
do we need people who are diseased and dying? is that a strength? i mean, you are not diverse if you don't have failed genes along with surviving ones
If we want to continue the analogy of genetic diversity, eventually you get to the point where there is so much diversity within a gene pool that speciation happens and interbreeding stops being possible.
So, like I said. I agree diversity can be a strenght, but I disagree that it must be.
Agreed.
legal immigration is a way of ensuring diversity that is a strength
but thats wasict
ok, ima watch the rest now, maybe he covers these points in what i haven't watched.
then again, its racist to say you don't want your daughter to be raped if the local rape gang is known to be muslim
and i mean known...to the police known.
if you're still watching the Tucker video, I think that's most of the point Tim made.
Are you in the UK, Grenade123?
his fault is assuming that Tucker wasn't making the same point
and no, why?
Oh, that comment about the rape gang known to the police sounds like something people talk about concerning the UK.
This is perhaps another formulation of the paradox of tolerance.
i watch sargon
lol
Ah, ok.
but that was more or less the joke
saying you are afraid of your daughter being raped becomes racist and therefore "bad" if the perp is Muslim. which is ridiculous .
What's going on the UK is bonkers. Somewhere they went off the god damn rails.
