I think it's time for us to question the belief that everyone in the world can put aside their differences and share the same values.

If I had to guess, I'd say that most of the fear that underlies prediction of catastrophe is fear that we'll never get to that ideal world. Can we imagine a different future, where groups of people form their own local cultural norms and value sets, and we still manage to all live and thrive? I think it's important that we do because that may be the world that we live in.

If that's true, that people really can't live in the same country as those with different skin colors, or accents or religions without blaming their problems on each other, then why wouldn't they just blame people in other countries?

Seems like blaming the foreigners that immigrate and blaming the foreigners that don't, go hand in hand.

It seems like you are replying to an idea about what I said rather than what I said.
