Key Notes
normative
Jiang says the best response for young people is not a clear migration strategy but self-education and proactive initiative, which he believes opens a path forward.
diagnosis
Jiang joins immigration pressure to inflation and housing unaffordability, treating Canada as the stark case where immigration rises, housing supply stays flat, and young people lose the dream of owning a home.
diagnosis
In answer to the student, Jiang says locals suffer even more than immigrants because immigration adds job and price pressure to an already declining economy.
prediction
He predicts gerontocracy will demand immigrant and student labor to care for elderly people, more prisons because elderly people fear criminals, and recurring wars because elderly people can send young people to die.
model
Jiang says young people cannot overthrow gerontocracy because they are biologically trained to respect and obey elders, which is why elders can send them to wars.

model
He says gerontocratic control can persist for a long time because as one elderly cohort dies, the next aging cohort replaces it, and wars kill young people rather than old people.
