10. I too believe "The evolution of culture, society, and humanity is simply inexorable."

It is logical and highly effective and very peaceful. It works in so many wonderful ways.

Just like high intelligence is an emergent feature that resulted from perfecting bipedal locomotion, a burgeoning diverse culture is a logical emergence. The more creativity and intelligence are rewarded in society (and they are), the more diversity in all its manifestations is allowed and flourishes.

It particularly irks the tRump base that they realize they are losing and they don't get why. They are not Moses parting the water for a return to the promised land. They are idiots drowning because they went jet skiing without a life jacket.

If they won't or can't get on board with inevitable reality, leave them in our dust. Full rights and access to services, but not much interaction. Let them become like Amish, like some sect but stuck in the 1950s. Not much else we can do.
