H‑1B Patterns Suggest Ethnic Patronage
- Auron notes about 80% of H‑1B visas go to Indians, which he says signals ethnic patronage rather than pure merit selection.
- He contends H‑1B use contributes to long-term demographic and political change because visa holders settle and bring families.
Treat High‑Skill Visas As Permanent
- Auron advises recognizing H‑1B arrivals are effectively permanent because of birthright citizenship and chain migration.
- He urges treating legal high-skilled immigration as a demographic issue, not just a temporary labor fix.
Elite Immigration Alters The Ruling Class
- Auron argues elite immigration into leadership positions can be more consequential than low-skilled flows because it shifts the ruling class.
- He warns that elite clannishness can reshape institutions and culture at the top.

Why Liberalism Failed
Patrick J. Deneen
In 'Why Liberalism Failed,' Patrick J. Deneen critiques both classical liberalism (often called libertarianism) and progressive/modern liberalism.
He argues that liberalism has created contradictions such as fostering material inequality despite advocating for equal rights, discouraging civic commitments in favor of privatism, and giving rise to a comprehensive state system while pursuing individual autonomy.
Deneen contends that liberalism's success is generating its own failure, leading to issues like income inequality, cultural decline, atomization, and the erosion of freedoms.
The book examines the outcomes of the growth of the state, the construction of the free market, and the effects of technology on freedoms and culture.

Aristotle's Ethics
Comprising His Practical Philosophy

In 'Nicomachean Ethics', Aristotle discusses how individuals should best live, focusing on the concept of eudaimonia, often translated as 'flourishing' or 'happiness'.

Plato's laws
Symposium Platonicum (6th 2001 Jerusalem)
