      Here's a crazy idea: let the migrants in. There's actually plenty of room.

      Make sure your culture is better than theirs and they will adapt and assimilate. Just like your forebears, and mine, did. There's an odd combination of triumphalism and fear of extinction here.

      "Make sure your culture is better than theirs and they will adapt and assimilate. " {{citation needed}} "odd fear of extinction here." what's odd about it? fear of extinction is an evolved trait; those who have it sometimes survive; those who don't never do

      I specifically edited out "triumphalism" because I was not responding to that point ; if you prefer I can cut and paste the entire tweet next time and let you guess which portion I'm responding to

      Except that "combination" was central to the observation.

          also, all sorts of things that are highly selected for (e.g. corn, dogs, etc.) are not competitive in unchecked environment. Weeds and wolves do better Corn and dogs do well as part of a SYSTEM where things (weeds, wolves) are kept out. "Weeds & wolves will assimilate" = false

          Not so sure about that. Weeds sometimes become crops and wolves... Well, I gesture vaguely towards our dogs.

          Well, you and i both agree that western culture is best, right? And from a certain perspective, this could be seen as triumphalism. So if it is best, then it should win over the less good alternatives. So why worry about immigrants?

          yes, agree W culture best "So if it is best, then it should win over the less good alternatives." unproven path dependence, tribal buy in, etc. make it possible that defection is a winning strategy too long to type into twitter Talk some time (maybe f2f - lunch?)
