Will USA brain drain Brazil until Brazil can not defend from an attack of USA? Will the least intelligent keep disappearing and the most intelligent keep appearing on Earth? Has evolution stopped?

first of all (just so people don't try to call me a hypocrite) if I saw a list like this showing such scandalous (to put it mildly) stats on Canada I would be mortified.
