I’m assuming that he’s referring to the fact that the Nordic countries as a whole have very homogenous populations in terms of race, culture

Historically correct, yes.

class

We were just as class divided as the US until the 50's or so, probably even more class divided before the wars. In Sweden it was the deep class divides (together with pragmatic capitalists who saw what happened in Russia) that spawned a strong social democracy (read: social liberalism).

political views

Not historically, see the above. We could easily have become communists or fascists in this country. The social liberal path was only the result of luck and pragmatism among the influential people.

I assume you weigh at least 150 kg or so. Does your body require as much food as someone without this condition (and who's not obese) who weighs that much? That is, do you need to eat much more than an average person without this condition?

Being 24 I remember graduating high school when technology was starting to enter the classroom. Everyone had cellphones, the Ti-89 calculators could solve derivatives and integrations for us

Just wanted to point out that we had pretty advanced graphical calculators in high school in the mid 90's too so your "cohort" wasn't exactly the one where "technology was starting to enter the classroom".

What's right is to spend those 800,000 SEK per year each unaccompanied alleged child currently costs on the fully covered education of a few thousand school girls in Africa and Afghanistan instead. Multiply with about 50,000 (current number of unaccompanied alleged children in Sweden) and we could cover the full annual education of about one hundred million (100,000,000) African and Afghan girls.

I know what's the most humanistic thing to do. Do you?

How did you get seven hours of sleep combining elite academics with elite sports? In high school I also had the choice of careers in both elite academics and elite sports, but due to time constraint I felt I could only choose one (elite academics). Otherwise I wouldn't have had a life outside these areas.

So my question is, have you had to sacrifice something (that you desired to do, of course) to achieve your professionals goals in two very different areas?
