A Beheading In Belfast, A Guilty Verdict In Texas, And More Bombs Over Iran

The gist

1. Bilyeu says conflating culture with race shuts down rational problem-solving and hands demagogues an emotional lever to pull.
2. He argues economics, not humanitarian concern, drives immigration policy, so debating the actual trade-offs matters more than the cover stories.
3. When you disagree with someone, assume they are intelligent but working from different base assumptions, then ask them to state their logic in one sentence.
4. Citing per-capita crime statistics to win an argument rather than find root causes, Bilyeu says, means you have stopped trying to solve the problem.
