While the main point is well-taken, it's also widely understood: humans will
be humans. What I find problematic is that in a column explicitly about
philosophy, the only philosopher cited in an article about a non-European
tradition with an exceptionally long philosophical lineage is a European:
Immanuel Kant. The section on the lack of self-transparency where Kant is used
can be easily phrased in Buddhist terms (after all, the self and our lack of
insight into its true nature is a central concern of Buddhism) but you chose
not to do so. Which in turn cements my view that the Stone isn't a public
philosophical forum but a propaganda vehicle for Euro-American ethnobeliefs.
Just to be clear, I am not a Buddhist.

I am generally liberal and despise the Trump administration. But I think that
the Democrats/liberals are hobbling many mainstream issues by embracing too
many fringe issues. I personally believe that the very large illegal immigrant
population in the US today exists because powerful economic forces (businesses
that employ lower-wage/skill workers) have made substantial profits by paying
tax-evading salaries and leaving the tax-payer to account for the needed
services. They are 'illegal' wink-wink and should NOT BE TREATED AS CRIMINALS
(except individuals that are). But for me the solution is to penalize the
EMPLOYER: they, not the worker, are the beneficiary of the scam. So if the
feds want to step up accountability in employment, go for it! They just should
then penalize the employer for all that tax revenue they evaded. As for
reporting about arrests (California Values Act), it's just an expensive and
onerous reporting responsibility tacked on to local government to save the
federal government effort: Uncle Sam wants a list of all detainees without
citizen status: hey, that's YOUR gig, come down to City Hall, make a list of
everyone arrested, and run against your records...no local laws differentiate
based on US immigration status, just on what the suspect did.
