How well did these cultures fare against the imperialist Europeans, exactly? How well do they fare against their more technologically advanced neighbors?

Incidentally, you may also wish to read "Industrial Society and Its Future" by former Berkeley mathematics professor Theodore Kaczynski.

No. I am also skeptical of more modern cars with complex computers. The thought of being in one scares me.

>Therefore, in order to attract a mate, logically women should try to attract a mate when they're younger, and try to improve the way they look. They should not be trying to get more educated or accomplish more in their careers.

Now that's ridiculous, why should women care about getting a mate, it's not like we have a sub-replacement birthrate or anything, or that having children later increases the chance of birth defects.

Having a lot of single childless people is not good for society.

You're supposed to raise your own children. This is inconsistent with having virtually every job an "educated" person can have.

>Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? One option would be to have the cultures integrate so there are not sub communities for PoC.

I find it a bit insane that people think that this is even something that needs to be fixed - why can't different ethnic groups live among themselves, instead of being required to lose their ethnic identity and become part of the larger group? Do you seriously think that's what they actually want? What you're advocating for is the destruction of their ethnic identity. I think that's wrong.

>Why can't we treat people from outside our community as the same as people inside? If we better understand and critique what a community is and how it forms I think it's possible.

Your point is basically that we should destroy the very concept of community and ethnic identity. Groups and their corresponding identities are defined entirely by who is not in them.

Or, to put it a different way, "You don't actually need to be racist in order to be racist."

I don't think products like this encourage the "deep surveillance state" - if anything, they weaken it by loosening their monopoly on high-tech covert surveillance. These things can be used for good as well as evil - you could spy on a corrupt official or catch someone cheating just as easily as anything else.

If you already know it's there, you probably don't need to go through the trouble of destroying it, unless you just want to fry random USB devices.
