"Trust" has many meanings --- which is why it was so surprising to me to learn that social science mostly quantifies trust just by surveying the question "Can you trust most people?"

In one sense it's low-trust, but it's very high in the kind of trust that diversity erodes.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/957681653341741061 …

It shouldn’t surprise us that a class of people for whom meritocracy has ensured a seamless transition from one high trust environment to another throughout their entire lives have no idea the way people negotiate in real life.

Noah’s analysis is a politically oblivious and hateful way of saying that human culture is a myth and “assimilation” is not a historically observed fact but a racist conspiracy theoryhttps://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/957668466676215808 …

Imperial theory is all about how to manage diversity! You've got people who differ in fundamental ways; can they live together while preserving their respective cultures? Is commitment to a shared idea enough, or are the nationalists right that you need a shared identity? Etc.pic.twitter.com/SR1PBIx4tf

Without getting into the merits of this particular attack, I'll just note that the increasing hostility to empire on the left runs oddly contrary to so many other trends in modern liberalism.http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/01/26/the-great-british-empire-debate/ …

Michael Young would want you (and
@RichardVReeves) to consider the possibility that meritocracy is wrong **in principle**. He meant that in a lefty egalitarian way, but there is a conservative version of the argument, too: https://herandrews.com/2016/07/01/the-new-ruling-class/ …https://twitter.com/WilcoxNMP/status/956301974894448640 …
