HEARTISTE: Study: Diversity + Proximity = War.

An April 2015 research paper concludes that the Heartiste formulation

DIVERSITY + PROXIMITY = WAR

is a fact, is true, is empirically sound, and is an accurate description of the way the world actually works, (instead of the way various open borders ‘toids insist the world works through the haze of their equalist acid trip).

The Nature of Conflict

. . . The analysis establishes the significant contribution of genetic diversity to the intensity of social unrest and to the incidence of intragroup factional conflict. These findings arguably reflect the contribution of genetic diversity to the degree of fractionalization and polarization across ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups in the national population . . .

Not that this will change any hearts and minds that most need changing. What’s a little (or a lot of) ethnic and racial civil conflict as long as Bryan Caplan gets to whore for status among his spergitarian SWPL buddies and live in a $450,000 median home price bubble?

Earlier: Diversity or community: Choose one. This post links to a 2013 post of Heartiste’s on the same subject, where he writes:

A new study concludes that placing different groups of people in close contact results in conflict.

As reported in the American Journal of Community Psychology, Zachary Neal found that neighborhood integration and cohesion cannot co-exist.

“Is a better world possible? Unfortunately, these findings show it may not be possible to simultaneously create communities that are both fully integrated and fully cohesive,” Neal said. “In essence, when it comes to neighborhood desegregation and social cohesion, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

Also earlier: Study: Ethnic Diversity and Social Trust: Evidence from the Micro-Context. Quoting from here: “Our results show that ethnic diversity in the micro-context affects trust negatively, whereas the effect vanishes in larger contextual units. This supports the conjecture that interethnic exposure underlies the negative relationship between ethnic diversity in residential contexts and social trust.” See PDF here.
