Looking back at Japan’s raise to economic superiority, I remember when everyone thought they would take over everything, then decline due to their inability to create their own intellectual ideas, I think China will do the same. They have to steel technology as an example and their form of ideology does not foster independent thought that brings the revelation for new ideas. Americans still have the lock on ideas.

I recall that, having destroyed Japan, we took them over and converted them to a capitalistic power. And they competed. "Made in Japan" was a sign that the goods were cheaply made when I was a child,. In about 10 years, Sony and Toyota and the others were products of superior quality. And we let them sell that stuff to us. We defeated Japan, then reconstructed it to become an economic competitor to us, and it threw us into turmoil that continues to this day. That is, indeed, a weird way to be an "imperialist" power. And we pay for the defense of Japan. We are a very weird empire. Peace at any price. Reminds me of my marriage. There's no such thing :)

Dr. Hanson, I am with you on everything except one thing. But first, unlike you, I am not a student of history or war, though I am trying to change that. I am open to learning. So please, I am truly listening. I recognize your suspicion of Russia. Further, I am certainly onboard with the idea of it being in the interest of many for the U.S. to maintain its military prowess. Even if there is merit in a careful view of Russia from past behavior, I do not see the advantage of not trying to build a more widely shared sense of European and Christian identity with Russia and other Western nations. Russia has undergone some kind of This seems natural to me in light of other threats mutually shared by European nations, including Russia. transformation (but you may argue not as great as it might seem). Propositional definitions of what it means to be a Western nation are fine. These make for good ideals. Such ideals, jointly forming a telos, can shape nations and peoples over time--a long time. In the meantime, ethnicity and race are critically important. But here is an import waypoint. Most react with apprehension when they hear these terms. I suggest that, rather than treating ethnicity and race as features of divisiveness, we instead recognize the possibility of expanding cooperativity (ultimately among all peoples) by building upon nested affiliations of ethnicity and race. That is, let's make subsidiary responsibilities and allegiances work for us. I have my family, my kin, my kindred neighbors, my ethnicity, my nation, my race. These affinities are biologically (read strongly "neurobiologically) based. You won't do well attempting to circumvent such realities. IT has never worked. Stochastic fluctuations in geographic and economic aspects of ethnicity and race, even for unrelated, non-genetic happenstance, will always be exploited by some force. I would point out that that reality in the U.S. and other Western nations obtains in obvious ways today. (Did I need to say that other than for maintaining the line of my own reasoning?) I expect others to have legitimate affinity for their nested subsets of ethnic affiliation. Recognizing these realities is the basis for beginning to say how can we cooperate. ("Let's make a deal" in the phraseology of Donald Trump.) The moderating virtues here are proportionality in the service of justice--but not a false justice as the Left is apt to utilize for what I believe are patently cynical purposes. My perspective as a neurobiologist is (likely) different from yours and from Peters. But maybe not. I will ask you to transfer some of that practical wisdom of the importance of genetics acquired from your years of growing raisins and other fruits. I do not see that recognizing deep behavioral differences between people as racist. It is not about wanting to harm people or "hating tem" as the adolescent and exploited street and classroom thugs of the Left regurgitate under the direction of their elite handlers and paymasters. I propose, instead, that by beginning a discussion of behavioral differences that emerge onto the cultural and political, we can without animosity approach each other as different--and wonderfully so. l am suggesting that armed with a realistic understandings of ethnic and racial differences, we can genuinely and seriously develop conditions of flourishing that are better for all peoples. But this will require the jettisoning of silly ways of thinking about multiculturalism. True multiculturalism requires borders for regulated exchange and migration of peoples, ideas and goods. Limited assimilation, as you describe for your family in the San Joaquin Valley, are not to be confused with the Kalergi scale flooding of nations by the ideology of a borderless world. But you make that point in other words, I acknowledge that. But let me point out why borders separating nations are important. Other no doubt have happened upon this model. I have used it now for decades. Like cell membranes, active borders are a vital aspect of living cells, and in multicellular organisms, the health of the whole body. Borders separate environments that necessarily require different makeups. In the case of cells, this is an electrochemical gradient. In the case of nations, it is biogeographical and biogeopolitical. Different nations may need even very different systems of law and economies. In the case of a cell, no gradient between the inside and the outside of a cells, and the cell is irreversibly dead. The same is true with the nations of the world and thus the evils we are seeing that are resulting form the disastrously unintelligent visions of the Globalist elite--unless you posit nefarious intentions on their part. Okay, enough of the biotechnical analogy--it may bore--or seems odd to--some people, especially many who read political blog sites. But thematic analogies, used with due caution, have great instructive utility across disciplines. To continue, I am not only desirous of learning about what happened in history (again, something that is undeniable important), but I am always interested in present and future action based on a well-selected "shoulds." As a small but perhaps useful digression, I know Jewish people that have great contempt for Russia and Russians. I understand the history. And the Russians have their complaints regarding Jews and the Bolshevics. Based on my perspective as a naïve-observer of anecdotal, cultural experiences, I wonder how much of this current angst over the relations of the U.S. & Western Europe with Russia is not proxy language for the topic just ventured--one of those uncomfortable topics. To employ a medical analogy, my investigative rule is that if there is a region of sensitivity, guarding and complaint upon palpitation--that is precisely where we need to explore for the good of the patient. As a last comment, often times my colleagues will reflexively launch into denunciations of what I am saying by employing the term, 'determinism'. This is unfortunate, uninformed, incorrect, and--therefore--supremely and definitively unnecessary objection to analyses that include genetics and bioethnicity. There is certain--and I would argue, recommended--means of discussing all manner of genetic influences without invoking or alleging a philosophically extreme position of determinism. Life, biology, just does not work that way. But you know that and you now that history does not either. To the good of us all!

There is this myth that we never sought the Philippines...that the cunning Spanish foisted them on us after we defeated them in the Spanish-American War. But oddly enough, America had been wanting to work our way toward an Asian power base since before the Civil War. The taking of the Hawaiian Islands served this aim as did occupying the Philipines in the heart of Asia. We had imperial designs on Asia but seemed never to be able to admit what we were about. We never took rich colonies in places like China and India. But we seemed to want to trade with the region. And to our credit, when we gained the power, we ended the colonial exploitation of Asia by the Europeans.

If that were the case every nation in the face of the Earth could be leveled this charge. Mexico during the the 18th and 19h century was far more akin to what we know as an "empire", yet today it's off spring are undertaking a campaign to convince the world they are the victims of American imperial ambition.

Rich Henry That's an odd statement. Of course other nations respect the United States. They would be foolish to underestimate its military, political and economic power. What they don't respect is American ideology, which is really their own decision to make. Is the U.S. justified in intervening in other nations' affairs, requested or otherwise? That is the crux of the issue and there is no correct answer. Can a nation that touts about the idea that self-determination and democratic choice, yet projects that idea forcefully at times, really be respected? The U.S. has been caught in this "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation since the end of the Cold War. I'm not going to argue one way or the other, because fuck if I know the answer. But, the idea that the United States should demand respect is a dangerous one. We've prided ourselves for generations on using force only when necessary and with overwhelmingly selfless intentions. There's no reason to give people an excuse to scream "EMPIRE!" They already do it anyway, but there's no reason to lend credence to those goons.

And one of the waitresses said that a big reason why was because its much easier to get a work visa in Canada than the US

The United States didn't take the Philippines as part of a "Spanish civil war." The so-called "Philippine Insurrection" was led by Tagalogs, not by the Moros. McKinley did intend to annex the Philippines, but the United States backed off, creating the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935, leading to its independence in 1946. The United States did exploit the Philippines, but not as egregiously as probably any other imperial power would have at the time, and the German fleet was poised to move into Manila Bay as soon as Dewey left. The darkest pages of U.S. history were written in the Philippines. Think of the "howling wilderness" of Samar. But the brightest pages of U.S. history were written there, too -- i.e., the education brought by the Thomasites and the liberation occasioned by MacArthur's return.

21:30 Excellent analogy of Roman immigration and migration with today. A good modern day example of some of the ideas raised here is Canada, which has diverse immigration, it is measured and it has legal, meritocratic auspices. An equivalent legal mmigration rate into the US would be 3 million per year. Just as the WSJ recommends for the US, Canada's Conference Board wants to see Canadian immigration increased by 50%. 25:20 Canada practices a more multi-cultural approach than the assimilationist US. Since immigrants come from so many places, no one group gains excessive influence over others. Canada's Parliament has numerous first and second generation immigrants, including senior Cabinet ministers, who retain a highly visible identity associated with their country of origin. Multiple citizenship is firmly established.

1. The division in the ruling elite is not between Republican and Democrat, Conservative and Progressive, but rather between the political and owning elite. 2. What is the point of undergoing the trials of becoming a member of the elite if you cannot ensure social arrangements exempt you from the morality you have been empowered to impose on everyone else? 3. At least since FDR, presidential elections have been decided on who is more convincing as a man * of * the people, even if they are not quite * for * the people. 4. Hanson can be dispassionate, informative and suggestive, but, as an historical cyclicalist, he is never really profound -- as a comparison of his early and post-election remarks on Trump show.

@29:30 "... Multi-racial society doesn't work very well in India". Sorry, Victor, but you're clueless about India. After encoding human DNA, the vast majority of Indians were found to be of one race. The Aryan-Dravidian divide is a Colonial myth. And, BTW, Arya means "noble" in Sanskrit. It has no racial connotations. "Dravid" in Sanskrit refers to peninsular India. In India's North-East, we have populations that are Mongloid. But everyone else is of the same race. There is a post-doc from Stanford U, who has studied ancient population migrations, and this is his conclusion. While India is not a perfect society, we don't have institutional prejudice against anyone. If you think otherwise, present facts.

He is making a very good case for the big picture of why mass illegal immigration is NOT working and is HURTING America. 1. Is it diverse or just one main region? 2. Is it measured/regulated to where there’s enough time to assimilate? 3. Do they come as meritocratic or just from whose local and the neediest wheel gets the grease? The final question: is one domestic party using this group for personal electoral calculations?? All the Democrats care about is identity politics and “tribal grievances” as he said. The country is more divided and now Trump has inherited this contentious mess.
