Louis CK recently added a new point of view on the question of immigration: speaking with Joe Rogan, Louis CK said that maybe the reason we try to keep the border closed is that we like being comfortable too much. Being too comfortable is bad for the individual organism, and it is also bad for society, because in either case the capacity to actively manage problems diminishes, complacency sets in, eyes become blind to problems, etc. In this episode, our main story is the recent allegations against America's Immigration and Customs Enforcement of barbaric force-feeding of Kumar, an Indian national detained after entering the U.S. to seek asylum. How much of our need for utmost comfort contributed to the circumstances and details of this brutal story?
