Why America needs immigrants to survive:
because America is a dysfunctional vampire-state that destructively consumes human capital.
We've been limping along on prewar central European fumes for decades. At some point, we run out.

People act there there is some infinite pile of high-quality human capital overseas, and we can just plunder it indefinitely. It doesn't work like that. At some point, you have to get good at generating human capital.
America has never been good at this.

Human capital generation looks like free independent productive subcultures sharpening themselves over generations.
Instead, we aggressively converge everything into the monoculture, shuffle off the high-quality people into Harvard, and apply their efforts to nonsense. Few kids.

In America, "Education" is mostly just brain-draining success-cases out of their formative environments, indoctrinating them with fashionable ideology, and then giving them access to the spoils of oligarchy.
Fail.
Fail.
To sustainably grow your human capital base, you have to be much more concerned with protecting and investing in the formative environments that work than extracting their products for fleeting use.
America is old-growth clearcut logging applied to human capital.

We can do better, but our entire current paradigm is systematically incapable of sustainability. It's going to fail. Time to think beyond it.
We can build something that invests in fundamentally productive beauty rather than narrowly "productive" abuse.

Maybe need to shut down public discourse, unified education system, and free-flowing labor migration. Re-silo so that there are protected corners where things can grow. Industrial-scale mass culture is inherently sterile. Refocus on bio-cultural lineage as human capital formation
Three most important questions in human capital:
Who are your parents? Are people having kids?
Who was your master/mentor? Are masters training proteges?
What social scenes did you participate in in your formative years? Do we have healthy productive subcultures?
