Man Glaubt Es Nicht!210 Open Borders
Das vorherrschende Narrativ in der öffentlichen Diskussion bewertet Migration als „Mutter aller Probleme“, das es zu kanalisieren und am besten ganz abzuwürgen gilt. Im Gegensatz dazu fordert die „Open Borders“-Bewegung auf Grundlage philosophischer, politischer und ökonomischer Argumente eine absolute Niederlassungsfreiheit für alle Menschen.
Till ist über die Open Borders-Leute gestolpert und kratzt sich am Kopf: Ist eine absolute Niederlassungsfreiheit wirklich eine gute Idee? Oder zumindest eine funktionierende Gegenthese zur „Ausländer raus!“-Rhetorik der deutschen Politik? Anhand der Bücher von Bryan Caplan und Joseph Carens stellt er die Argumente der Befürworter vor und geht auf zentrale Einwände ein.

tripu“People who detest #prejudice, […] instead of trying to make differences go away, they accentuate them. How? By building group #identity. […] If you want prejudice to go away, don’t tell people to be proud of their identities. Instead, ask them to focus on our common humanity – the sense that our differences are ‘only skin-deep.’ If you must have a sense of identity, make it not proud but casual.”

#BryanCaplan on minimum rules to engage in intellectual #arguments:
“Remain calm, take nothing personally, use probabilities, face hypotheticals head-on, and spurn Social Desirability Bias like the plague.”

This is all very important to me, and a constant source of frustration when debating with other people, so I just added it to #Vita:

Silence is Stupid, Argument is Foolish - Econlib
When I was young, I never backed down in an intellectual argument. Part of the reason, admittedly, was that I was starved for abstract debate. Before the internet, anyone who wanted to talk ideas had to corner an actual human willing to do the same. Another big reason, though, was that I didn’t want to …
i finished reading Open Borders by Bryan Caplan and Zach Weinersmith yesterday.
it solidly argued, but remember the target audience: this is written for the sort of people who think open borders would be a horrible idea, so it does not focus very much on the benefits (or human rights) of the immigrants…
it's especially obvious in the chapter "keyhole solutions".
