america's superpower is attracting the best talent in the world to its shores and building a nation unmatched by any other. the goal is to attract the .01%, not the uneducated refugee hordes. native born americans that typically oppose immigration do so because they are 1) low iq and 2) low agency. in other words, they're on the left tail of the distribution.
as for ai, i get that it feels threatening, especially to senior ppl who've spent a decade building a career, and view ai taking away what they've built. that is the wrong take and i have a pretty good view on what's on the other side.
@eigenrobot if you want to chat and throw around ideas, dm me. you're on the other side of the distribution and frankly ai should make you incredibly bullish
