No. I accept that things will go wrong with any system and all we can do is design systems where the probabilities work out so that good things are happening as much more often than bad as practicable. I accept that taking in refugees, whether from the potato famine or the holocaust or Vietnam or Cuba or the Syrian Civil War will mean some of the refugees will do bad things. But if we implement it well, we'll save a lot more lives than are lost and ultimately mankind will be better off.
Like I said...thanks for confirming I have you pegged. Ultimately "mankind" will NOT be "better off." Demonstrably so. Every EU country is a quagmire of bad progressive policies, that is destroying the social and economic fabric of these long standing democracies. The EU is in full on implosion, fiscally, socially, and culturally!!! The progressives have been running the place for most of the past century and they are imploding under sclerotic economic growth, overly bureaucratic institutions, burgeoning government debt and unchecked immigration.
So how do you go about "designing" a progressive
"system where the probabilities work?" By simply pointing to Scandinavia and suggesting that since it works so well there it will work the same everywhere. WTF? Can't you see???? It doesn't work anywhere but there!!! That should be your first clue that there's more to this than you are suggesting.
The reason it appears to have worked there is because of their homogeneous and high achieving populations. And, as I have demonstrated to you already (and you, in your typical narcissistic fashion, completely ignored) the Scandinavians who have come to America are, on average, doing better than those who remained in these socialist "paradises." So this stands as proof that these policies drive DOWN achievement, rather than improving it. So everyone is relatively worse off, albeit more equally so.
Even in Scandinavia!!!!
And the fact is that when you apply the Scandinavian model in places where there are different demographics, indeed, as the demographics of the Scandinavian nations change, we can see the results getting worser and worser (always and everywhere). Yet you, in your "infinite wisdom," can "imagine" a socialist paradise where everyone is above average, so you cling to your failed ideology like Ahab to his dream of revenge on Moby Dick. You might be intelligent, but I would suggest you are also mentally deranged. Like the sick Captain Ahab you can't see that you are hitching us to this dream society of yours that is dragging us all to our doom. Whatever...
