  • Because most low birth-rate countries are first-world countries, and they generally want to only accept people who can contribute to their society and not be freeloaders to the social system. This means they need to filter out the people that come in, and being first-world countries, there is no shortage of people trying to get in. Sometimes they want low-skill, not-highly educated people just for the cheap labor, but not the person actually staying permanently, hence temporary worker visas. If a foreigner really wants to stay permanently, they then need to ensure that you are educated, able to support yourself long term, do background security checks, and make sure you agree to integrate as you mentioned in the OP.




  • Honestly don’t know. In grade school we had a classmate who was always at the top of our entire batch. As expected she graduated as valedictorian. We all took the entrance exam for one of the coveted high schools and surprisingly she didn’t pass…and I got in lol. She kinda faded away after that. She’s probably fine though, just didn’t meet expectations going into high school.

    Does the fame require me to work and have public appearances (i.e. celebrity/actor/etc.), or can I be just a rich famous person without it? If it’s the latter, I’d take it. Be rich and famous but will fuck off somewhere on a private residence (gated mansion or island) and just live normally like I do now. Then if I want to travel or watch a concert, being rich gets you privileges like VIP entry where you can avoid the hassle of crowds.
