I agree with you that it's easier to be surrounded by similar people, while listening to diversity needs a major effort. the newcoming world is more and more multiface, and being open minded will be an issue to grow less dramatically. great blog, and great author! snoq, italy hi ethan, I have read your essay about homophily on an italian magazine, “internazionale”.

It was fascinating and certainly gave me a lot to reflect upon personally. In confirmation of your ideas/theories, I was more inclined to visit and read you blog as, I too, have been to Accra and a piece of my heart is there as well.

I'm looking forward to you doing more homework on the topic while I think about it from another angle. By the way, if "birds of a feather..." is homophily, what is "preaching to the choir"?

By the way, if “birds of a feather…” is homophily, what is “preaching to the choir”?

I now sit on the board of the US programs - by "consult", in this context, I mean "spent a day interviewing candidates for a job with the US programs for no pay." If you have an ethical concern about me giving my time away to OSI in that fashion, you're really reaching for a conflict of interest...
