Thought-provoking and clarifying article. Thank you!

I appreciated the illustrations of the Scandinavian in Arabia and the Australian Aboriginals in China. This reminded me of another post I saw earlier this year where the writer postulated a Swiss village being transported in full to Somalia and asked if the citizens of that village would adopt the Somalian lifestyle, poverty and hopelessness; or if the values they took within them would enable them - through Swiss hard work, intelligence, foresight, faith, loyalty and determination - to recreate something far more akin to Swiss standards, than Somali standards.

I also wondered what Dr Dailey thought about "prior rights" of Australian Aboriginals (and prior rights of other self-declared First Nations people in other countries) in Australia.

I look forward to Part 2.
