Far more prolific Arabic and Turkish immigrants are welcome to collect the garbage and clean, but not properly intermarry, integrate or assimilate. Still, Europeans do not thereby feel illiberal. After all, they broadcast to the world that they are progressives on humanitarian issues of global poverty, world courts and the environment.

The Codfish lays a thousand eggs,
The humble Hen, but one.
The Codfish doesn't cackle around,
To tell you what she's done.
We dreadfully scorn the Codfish,
While the humble Hen we prize.
All of which goes to show
It pays to advertise.

-- Ogden Nash

That's a problem for many doers: they fail to advertise. Unfortunately it is a must in the world we live.

Amount of information doubles every ten years or so (sometimes feels even faster). So we have oceans of information comparing with our ancestors of just 100 years ago. We benefited from the progress, of course, but this side of the progress complicates our lives immensely. We have too much of the garbage info coming through. It is much easier not to notice a quiet doer now than it used to be.

And not to forget, most of the garbage info is very nicely packaged and is good eye candy.
