Australia went multicultural officially in 1991, from memory, while my wife and I were visiting Canada and the owner of the place we were staying said that it would be a mistake. When asked why, he pointed out that different ethnic groups would be payed to stay ethnic and not assimilate to retain the multicultural status of the country. They would have their own papers, radio and TV stations, get government subsidies for ethnic programs, schools, language lessons all in the name of diversity. This would end up dividing the culture instead of uniting it, and he was right because people brought their ancient hatreds with them, as we can see on the news nightly.

Up to 1970’s Australia accepted many migrants but not Muslims or Asians in large groups. We had a restricted immigration policy for indeed, the purpose of cohesion. 1900 to 1970- Christians from Europe and the Middle East were accepted leading to a successful multicultural society. Now the Vietnamese who came from the mid 70’s turned out to be completely fabulous. That’s all I have to say.

Actually the law in Hungary was passed 4 years ago, since then they saw a +0.6% increase each year following the incentives, it might not seem much but if you know how compound interest works in about 45 years at this rate they would be above replacement rate and in 100 years they would come close to 3 children per family. This is also ignoring the fact that social interventions have a delayed effect, if you look at recycling or views on the environment for example, today most people view it as important but it hasn't always been so. Culture is what actually defines us most, we are not predetermined at birth, the books we read, the music we listen to, it all plays a role. Hell even the food we eat has effects on our brain chemistry, so promoting traditional values, family and culture is essential for a healthy society. My point is, at least they are doing something.

[@elizabethhobson7939]

Agreed. And the .6 annual increase translates into well over 100k human beings who would not otherwise have been born since the pro-natal policies started to be enacted in Hungary, and that is massively significant by individualist standards, for their families, and communities.

[@skillfuldabest]

culture definitely DOES NOT define us the most. Nature beats nurture every time. Intelligence is 87% hereditary.

[@michaeldavidantinucci7355]

@@skillfuldabest I find this comment quite reductive. If so, please answer me these questions: Can a malnourished child's brain fully develop to the best of its capabilities? Can a brother or even an omozigote twin be much smarter than another? Can someone who was never exposed to Mathematics or didn't pay attention to it perform well on IQ test, which I think are the basis for your assertion? Can lexicon be improved by exposure? if so, wouldn't that affect your results on IQ tests and verbal reasoning? (Lexicon and eloquence are also culturally determined by the way) I have more but it would be redundant for me to continue. Firstly, intelligence is hardly a key factor in regard to behavior, which defines us much further than intellectual potential alone. Two people of roughly the same intelligence will act very differently depending on their origin, circumstances and subsequent culture. Depending on where you are in the world, your intelligence can be used in many ways: altruistically, selfishly, effectively, poorly and even never used at all. Lastly Intelligence vastly varies within any population, but culture strongly defines and directs one's use of it. Are you suggesting that people of a given cognitive ability have a predetermined pattern of behavior? Why bother with educating/disciplining children then? My point is that had you been born in a different set of circumstances you would be a different person, that is evidenced by the fact that people change and values change in time. Most people in prison or even failing in school come from fatherless homes, this is not a rule mind you, but such factors affect our outcomes. You are not a blank slate at birth but neither are you a predetermined soul trapped inside a body. Culture and circumstances channel your potential self into what you are.

[@skillfuldabest]

​@@michaeldavidantinucci7355 North Koreans have a higher IQ than Europeans! That tells you a lot! North Koreans are very malnourished in comparison. Being exposed to learning and critical thinking skills of course raises your intelligence, but what you're not understanding is that intelligence is all about how quickly you can pick up and process new information. That's why we see kids who naturally find school easy and other kids who struggle a lot. And actually intelligence is definitely a key factor in behavior. We can see that the average criminal America only has an IQ of 85. Criminality is essentially low impulse control + low intelligence. There are actually many twin studies proving the point that genes play a superior role in life outcome than environment.
