“I wonder what will happen if gifted minds start going to different countries that give them full scope for their intelligence.”
Sadly, such a brain-draining out-migration would be a more beneficial solution than what our educators would have - namely letting the gifted rot away in obscurity while all educational resources and opportunities are directed towards “addressing inequality”.
At least in another nation the gifted could be getting the necessary preparation and relevant tools to succeed to their fullest potential. That’s better than thinking of all of the medical advances, technological breakthroughs, and revolutionary advances that humanity might have lost by trying to wish away the gifted.
Once-upon a time this country beckoned the world’s brightest and most driven individuals to our shores, today not so much. If you’re not here to collect welfare and vote democrat, or you’re not H1B visa slaves willing to work for third-world wages for a tech giant that hasn’t figured a way to outsource some jobs yet, then we don’t want your kind around.
The only reason this country wants the smart and intelligent is so that way they will be there to carry the lazy leeching carcasses that oddly get all the breaks in this nation. I do think that this is what will likely happen since you can only send the message that someone is unwanted until they walk away, leaving this country bereft of any chance of advancing.
The US will lose everything and I am certain that in the end, no one will care, least of all the formerly rejected.
