What intellectuals don't get about MIGRATION is the ethical notion of SYMMETRY:
OPEN BORDERS work if and only if the number of pple who want to go from EU/US to Africa/LatinAmer equals Africans/Latin Amer who want to move to EU/US
Silver Rule in #SkinInTheGame
Gabish?

6) The Anachronistic Fallacy, 2
You cannot flow today’s rules of morality backward in time & judge people THEN based on rules developed later.
Morality comes from customs (mores).
