he won't ever openly say it but part of complexity collapse is the competence crisis. the immigrants aren't great minds or builders. take a look at any modern home built with slave labor and you will see why logistics systems are slowly crumbling and buckling under their own weight. like all great empires this one is suffering a population decline because the empire does not align with the people. this has happened to every great civilization that abandoned it's principals. even the romans tried to legally compel reproduction and it failed because the nation has no soul while it's overran by immigrants. it's going to be a much worse collapse this time. there is not enough easy energy to allow for the fallacy of unlimited growth. when you combine this with the decline of a decadent civilization it may be fatal. if they wanted the civilization to survive they would be building massive amounts of infrastructure instead of waging war. what they are attempting to preserve is power for themselves. musk wants people to have children because children make parents go along with bad people running the show. they will give into the system to protect the children. musk wants your children so he can program them towards his machine god future. they don't need you in numbers but they need your consent and need you to produce for them.  they want a much smaller world, but one curated like they do with their ai. one where you only regurgitate what they want and do what they want.
