Nothing autistic about wanting to escape this capitalist nightmare and go live somewhere cool

I've been reading some Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land lately and they regularly make the claim that multiculturalism and ethnic diversity has extremely negative consequences for large groups. All of the studies I can find seem to support this position so what are the best arguments against it? Most people seem to rely on the huge assumption that the negative consequences will ultimately be eliminated in a few generations as people get more accustomed to it. A lot of people also shamefully try to ignore the negatives by appealing to the fact that we gain access to different types of food and entertainment.

The struggle between the majority and minority groups is an extremely important part of their writing and I'd like to see the more cogent arguments against it.

Ever present

To spend more time on the farm
Who could blame him?

I don’t want us to go extinct. I want us to have nice happy homes and good food. To explore and keep learning.

Pre money age, but yes, I know. This would be a post money age.

Ovid's Metamorphoses (Rolfe Humphries trans.)

The Four Ages

The Golden Age was first, a time that cherished
Of its own will, justice and right; no law,
No punishment, was called for; fearfulness
Was quite unknown, and the bronze tablets held
No legal threatening; no suppliant throng
Studied a judge’s face; there were no judges,
There did not need to be. Trees had not yet
Been cut and hollowed, to visit other shores.
Men were content at home, and had no towns
With moats and walls around them; and no trumpets
Blared out alarums; things like swords and helmets
Had not been heard of. No one needed soldiers.
People were unaggressive, and unanxious;
The years went by in peace. And Earth, untroubled,
Unharried by hoe or plowshare, brought forth all
That men had need for, and those men were happy
Gathering berries from the mountainsides,
Cherries, or blackcaps, and the edible acorns.
Spring was forever, with a west wind blowing
Softly across the flowers no man had planted,
And Earth, unplowed, brought forth rich grain; the field,
Unfallowed, whitened with wheat, and there were rivers
Of milk, and rivers of honey, and golden nectar
Dripped from the dark-green oak-trees.

I also love forests. Here are some recommendations. Daphnis and Chloe (to some extent), Knut Hamsun's "Pan", Knut Hamsun's "Growth of the soil" (to some extent), About forests in western literature in general: "Forests" by Robert Harrison, Baker "The Peregrine", Ernst Jünger "Auf den Marmorklippen" (to some extent), Hölderlin "Hyperion" (to some extent), Works of Wordsworth.

>Can I just go straight into the Stoics
For a shortened trip through the basics, I recommend these podcasts

> I'm totally just doing this in a hope to find some sort of way to cope with being unhappy.
Study the stoics if you like, but don’t neglect the good Epicurean methods
