- nicoburns 6y agoYes, although it's interesting to note it that one interesting effect of opening borders would be to create a massive incentive for wealthy countries to establish this baseline. I don't think just opening would work because the short-term shock would be too great (+ nobody in those countries would agree to do it), but I do think eroding borders in some way may be necessary to get people in wealthy countries to take the needs of those elsewhere seriously. Currently we tend to have some level of wealth redistribution within countries, but very little between them.
- rorykoehler 6y agoI think we should commit to opening borders completely by 20XX, like we have the Paris Climate Accord. That will force us to act.
