A QUESTION ABOUT DIVERSITY

Why is an unlimited diversity of NORMS desirable, but an unlimited diversity of INCOME undesirable? Is there no relationship between norms and the production of income? So then, why not a redistribution of norms in exchange for a redistribution of income?

If trust declines as diversity increases, and wealth decreases as trust decreases, and people demonstrate a clear desire for consumption, and consumption requires wealth, and most consumption requires redistribution, then why is diversity ‘good’ if it makes us less trusting of each other, poorer, and less able to redistribute?
