Re: thoughts on nationalism.
thanks for all your replies!
regarding "why scientists don't believe in ethnicity", i thought it was scientifically demonstrated that humans are split up into subraces etcetera.
why would they have no interest in preserving these races and the manifold of homo sapiens sapiens?
i eventually found out that two scientists that actually agree on the same scientific theories, have two different political orientations. matt ridley is a libertarian and richard dawkins is a social democrat (and/or secular humanist), eventhough they both agree on a gene-centered view of evolution.
many people also ask me why we need nation states. it seems to be a very easy question to answer, but i don't think it is. on the other hand, if we reject nation states, then we must automatically favour globalism (which is very dystopic, if you ask me).
