The selection pressure exists right now. If you get sick, who is going to look after you? Or if you buy a home, who is meant to inherit it if you accidently die? That's why I find calling these intelligent genes "successful" to be quite the oxymoron. Especially when we're talking about the same people who work on projects that can take an entire lifetime (i.e building highways/infrastructure) but somehow the challenge of replacing themselves with offspring is somehow "too hard". It would imply their intelligence is actually a defect, similar to how homosexuality gets passed down each generation but is still a dead end biologically. Are we really suppose to praise geniuses or interpret they are superior to other races when they themselves are volunteering to go extinct?

The selection pressure exists right now.

The selection pressure for what exactly?

Your post is all over the place and pretty incoherent. It sounds like you're having a very scattered argument in your head.

Your retirement. Japan is an example of what's going to happen soon if you don't address the replacement problem. The population is getting old, but they're also running into labor shortages. https://thediplomat.com/2019/11/how-does-japans-aging-society-affect-its-economy/

I recall before the Covid pandemic, the government was going into panic mode and even wanted to bring in more Filipino immigrants to act as a temporary bandaid. But they're going to run out of young people soon which is going to result in a crash in supporting the older population.

More immigrants will never be a viable solution to an aging population. They end up costing more in social services, they drive down wages, the amount of remittance that leaves the country grows. It actually makes things worse as it doesn't address the causes of these problems, namely the increased cost of living, again which more immigration just makes worse.

The government (and corporations) are threatened by downsizing and reduced tax revenue/profits, so they just kick the can down the road, i.e. what happens when all these new imports start drawing pensions and more social services or healthcare? Now they've just made that previous problem 10x worse, or whatever multiplicative effect it will be (it will be larger no matter what).

Anyway, you're still really all over the place. You stating that it's the selection pressure for retiring is not what a selection pressure is, or at least in common parlance.

Anywhere there is Capitalism, there has to be growth. That's the nature of the game, unless you approve of economic contraction. Which to my knowledge, almost no one wants to be poor, everyone wants to be richer than they were yesterday. It's true that immigrants can be a burden and even take out money via welfare, but ultimately, you have to address who is going stand out in the hot sun everyday and keep the food supply chain going. Or how will you grow your tax base and pay for the increasingly dependent senior population at the same time?

So there's still a selection pressure: a shrinking economy will force people to give up their standard of living. And given how more people would rather buy from Amazon/Walmart rather than support higher priced but locally made goods, there's going to be a chaotic end to this episode.
