I agree that having a USSR background gives a good perspective, but the Medici family exerted their power not only by giving money but by poisoning people so I am not sure that they are a good historical example of bringing diversity. The Soviet Union had very diverse new "intelligenciya" but they killed old intelligent class people. to give a newcomers space. There is only merit and market, everything else is based on envy and will not generate anything good. We should be a result-based economy and not a bs economy. and then we will be fine. Planes will fly, and trains run without derailments. All old soviet slogans of "removing the border between village and city and man and woman" and "equity, fairness, and young pioneers go ahead" are old lies to corrupt young minds and rob them of the future. Life is unfair, and I hope America believes enough in the Founding Fathers to learn about a proper society with rights for life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. We already went to the medieval ages during COVID to save grandma - it does not work.

These are excellent points. Here's another alternative:

"Diversity Renaissance through the Ten Commandments"

The Founders of America valued these very much. It's clearly apparent in Christ Church of Philadelphia.
