Biological impetuses aside - what is a nation ? And why should any individual care about it more than one self
My countries will continue to exist whether I have kids or not

- AmericanChopper 4y ago> what is a nation ? And why should any individual care about it more than one self Regardless of the definition, the reason most people _should_ care about their nation is because their welfare depends on it to some extent. Most people wouldn’t be able to adequately care for themselves and their dependents without the entitlements and infrastructure that the nation administers. There are some people who don’t have to care about which nations succeed and which fail, because they are either rich enough or skilled enough benefit from the institutions of any nation they choose (probably a reasonable amount of HN readers are in this category). But these people are an elite minority in this respect.
