Do you believe this "we" will include mothers with children dying from currently incurable cancers?

I'm guessing OP (Right term? I'm new to this!) is referring to immigrants, at least in Europe, typically depending more on the state for assistance and having much higher unemployment rates, thus having more immigrants would place a higher burden on public finances. This is from Wikipedia regarding Sweden: 'First generation immigrants, for example, constituted 60% of economic welfare recipients in 2016, 73% of all unemployed and 53% of those serving long prison sentences.'

The unemployment rate for native Swedes is less than 4%. The unemployment rate for foreign-born Swedes is at around 20%. Regarding Sweden, from Wikipedia: 'First generation immigrants, for example, constituted 60% of economic welfare recipients in 2016, 73% of all unemployed and 53% of those serving long prison sentences.'

This was my introduction to calculus: https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-18-005-highlights-of-calcu...

Very grateful to this man, and just started watching the lectures for his new course, Matrix Methods in Data Analysis, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-065-matrix-method...

Well, I was more interested in the science side of the course, anyways! Taught by Harvey Lodish. Still, disappointing to hear that.

Disappointed to hear this about Lo. Was just looking at a course MIT will be offering online that he's co-teaching!

Given that this is what he had to say on priming, the authoritative tone starts sounding a little less authoritative: "When I describe priming studies to audiences, the reaction is often disbelief . . . The idea you should focus on, however, is that disbelief is not an option. The results are not made up, nor are they statistical flukes. You have no choice but to accept that the major conclusions of these studies are true."

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here: https://replicationindex.com/2017/02/02/reconstruction-of-a-...

You might want to skip chapter 4: https://replicationindex.com/2017/02/02/reconstruction-of-a-...

And take the rest with a bit of salt given that this was Kahneman's comments on the research in that chapter: "Disbelief is not an option. The results are not made up nor are they statistical flukes. You have no choice but to accept that the major conclusions of these studies are true."
