RE: Culture Brings People Together, Multiculturalism is No Culture
really smart stuff man. As societies and their structures develop, they explode in complexity. Free association seems to be the only viable option because any top-down control cannot capture the complexity of every possible scenario so you have something inferior trying to exert control over a superior system of freedom. As you said that can only happen through force and force means problems.
That being said, I don't see how a system of free association can create conflicts between two cultures existing in a similar area. If they struggle with one another, they just have to cease associations. Once one steps up to control the other, as you said, there are troubles, but free association doesn't give rise to that scenario.
If you have a core culture value of free association then they can exist in the same area. Take Syria before 2013, Christians, Muslims and Jews co-existed relatively peacefully vs other countries in the region such as Pakistan. In Pakistan police won't investigate crimes against Christians.
The core culture values have to be based on respect for your fundamental rights. I might hate you, I won't infringe on your rights. Religions, food, clothing styles are all superficial aspects of culture. I was going to cover most of your question in the next post taking about risk, reward and respect after I write it.
awesome man, I'll stay tuned for that one. I like your style
