More people come to this country ILLEGALLY every year than came LEGALLY 30 years ago. If that's not uncontrolled mass immigration, I don't know what is.
There is no “mass uncontrolled immigration” in the UK. There’s the result of policy choices, mostly by people with buyers remorse. Brexit created a hole in the workforce replacing temporary EU workers with permanent Global South workers. That was very much a controlled process

Intelligence and talent are not normally distributed. Leverage magnifies the distinctions. The capable ones make everyone better off, but themselves most of all. It’s not that the rich are getting richer, it’s that the “smart, leveraged, and high agency” are getting richer.
The top people are always underpaid while the masses claim "is he really 100x better than me" the answer 99.99% of the time is yes. Can the average person actually throw a baseball once at 95mph? No. Too big of a spread. Same applies to IQ

“It’s better to err on the side of optimism & be wrong than err on the side of pessimism and be right, for quality of life. You’ll be happier if you err on the side of optimism rather than erring on the side of pessimism. I recommend erring on the side of optimism.” 一 Elon Musk

Time is simply a segue for the mind to display an answer for its craving of reason. Both are creations of said Mind.
