It’s a land of freedom, bravery, respect, kindness, love, law, and innovation. Of course great minds will abound and innovate faster in those places. America is amazing. The land of innovation. A land of huge scale and growing rapidly still. Just wait and see how much more growth ahead once they resume QE now that the money supply is tight enough again that inflation is under control.

Time for brand new mega cities and EMP-proof Grid 2.0 and massive infrastructure projects and more money supply for new business development efforts.

> This may come as a shock, but _the world_ sees America as the greatest threat to global peace, stability and democracy.

That goes very much against the fact that the US has the highest number of foreign-born residents aka immigrants in the world[0]. And not by just some negligible number, it is 47mil against 15mil for the next top entry (Germany). Every fifth immigrant in the entire world lives in the US.

How do you reconcile "the world sees America as the greatest threat to global peace, stability, and democracy" with those numbers? The only explanation I can foresee is a claim that somehow people are more interested in moving to those types of countries. But that doesn't sound convincing at all to me.
