You are probably correct that all far-sighted governments of a certain size have to do that. But the problem is still where lies the shut-off valve beyond which point you got this self-perpetuating MIC where weapons have to be churned out to keep people working.
Amrika does it quite well - for now. The old Soviet Union did it reasonably well - for a time. The Third Reich did it - you be the judge how well.
But your point is otherwise well taken. Without the Cold War, there'd be no internet ... but without internet, I wouldn't be here wasting time ...
lol it's not fair . you're loosing time with us?
internet is university program i guess and it was needed communication between scientists
Germans always have a great sense of practice and theory high level mixed for the best. Einstein is just a part of all this system far before the nazis came into power.
At that time French and German were the best. And the best army. And the powerful countries, with England.
They came to USA for an heaven of ability to do research.
Never in history research could reach that intense progress. You see now the results.
Russia? they have high theory level and they are many in american universities. did you hear about Landau?
No doubt Landau was the best genius ever: he touched all the field and not like Einstein he had no doubt about quantum mechanics
just the most famous scientist would be the one of the country number one
if China would be number one , then the best scientist ever would be chinese.As a friend said "the history is at the victorious side".
About IQ average i agree tottally with education importance
i know someone well that shows it is not always true:
his father is from very poor family: he got always the best grades at school but without money he entered army and never did studies. His son was not much helped too with a part of family who said that like everyone in family he should not do studies...
but he did. with 162 IQ, he just was always upset against all the teachers and people who thought he was a dreamer good for nothing.
