Insightful treatment of Andrew Bolt unconscious radicalism regarding identity. Also, you wrote: <br />"Friedman justifies discriminating in favour of our family, but not our conationals, on this basis:<br /><br />We would be miserable if we could not treat our friends, spouses, and siblings with special consideration; but is this necessarily true of our conationals?<br /><br />That doesn't seem to me to be a very principled or persuasive response to the liberal dilemma."<br /><br />I agree. As if ethnic diversity does not produce misery! Also, co-ethnics are genetic kin, with remarkably high genetic similarity, typically equivalent to first cousins.
