The Elimination of Race

by Harry McLaverty

Race can be unbundled into…
“The federal government now recognises 6,604 distinct racial and ethnic groups for reporting purposes, spanning an enormous array of detailed combinations based on race, ethnicity, and ancestry” — David E. Bernstein
…citizenship, skin-tone, and ancestry

Progress of this kind has two components: equality, treating everyone the same, and unity, pulling people together under a common identity and goal
Our tribalism is completely unnecessary

The equality question is resolved simply through acts and bills
Global UBI delivers the unity we need
“Racism created race, racism is built into the very notion of race” — David Livingstone Smith
This will require a decentring process…

We have not yet implemented the unifying economic mechanism to kill the concept of race, which allows racism to live on through both bigotry and equity

That unifying economic mechanism is precisely the same mechanism as I have proposed for the re-satisfaction of Rodrik’s globalisation trilemma
…which parts of Title VII hinder
“When you are dominated by a false idea and you determine to sacrifice it, you are going to be in the desert for a while because that idea has integrated, and whatever it integrated falls apart and torments you” — Jordan B. Peterson
Equality and unity are back in step
The next test will be synthetic humans…
…but for now, time to implement
