Brilliant. I think it's worth considering that a significant portion of the anti-immigrant sentiment is clearly cultural but also based in biological differences. I'm not certain what ramifications that has on his positions, but I would be interested to hear his thoughts. Also the idea of building and reinforcing a national identity from a nexus of ethical and moral subscription, is somewhat problematic because people may immigrate for solely economic and security incentives without whole heartedly or completely subscribing to the ethical, moral and more specifically racial and class egalitarianism positions of the national identity.

Absolutely terrible. His lecture is confusing, his audience`s behaviour (i.e. fidgity, restless) demonstrates his ineffectiveness at clearly elucidating his arguments. Terrible.

@@22kataking I waited to read his Zoopolis. It's rather easy book to read but that book definitely cpuld be written shorter and arguments are too purely based on some moral intuitions that I for an axample don't have
