    This was 5 years ago, in this pace, with energy sources and government support for new technology they have, they would outpace the whole western world within next 5 years. We stand no chance.

      Sad how nations poorer than the US have easier access to higher education.

      I think the ruling class sees the writing on the wall. They’ve convinced the American public to sell itself out, and we’re just witnessing the results of that.

      If they use the knowledge to build powerful renewables, I’ll be very happy.

      But for global dominance, nukes and military matter more than than general tech anyways
