The moment we're born they try to make us cry, and it sometimes seems as though they never stop.

The essential lesson (Brin)

The essential lesson of tolerance and diversity is not that all ways are morally equal, or that “not-us” is routinely better than “us.” A far saner and more supportable justification for diversity is that we all benefit—both ethically and pragmatically—every time we learn fresh perspectives.

David Brin
