  And what is the EU going to do about it? Governing bodies can declare extraterritorial laws all they want, but they are meaningless unless they have a way to enforce them.

  Tolerance, inclusivity, and integration.

  To put this into perspective, the legal fact that “everyone”[0] is welcome in a given public school was not established until 1954 with Brown v Board of Education. And segregationists lost there mind over this.

  In 1957, president Eisenhower had the 101st airborne division invade Little Rock High School, after Arkansas deployed it’s national guard to block black students from entering.

  All models are wrong, but some are useful. Thinking of evolved features as having a purpose is wrong, but it is also incredibly useful.

  Why do we have eyes? In some sense, there is no reason, just a sequence of random coincidences, combined with a slightly non-randon bias refered to as “survival of the fittest” (itself an incorrect model).

  However, saying that we have eyes to see has incredible explanatory power, which makes it a useful model. Just like Newton’s law of Universal gravity. We’ve known it that is wrong for a century at this point, but most of the time still talk as if it’s true, because it is useful.
