Small comment inspired by this article:
Great read. Sad that the US is falling behind, although maybe inevitable
given the national arrogance that always accompanies hegemony. You
start to take success and power for granted while listening to your own
misleading stories of intrinsic greatness. Aside from that,
one quibble is that he's predicting future accomplishments based on what
Americans/westerners have generally emphasized. If we're diminishing
as an innovative force due to loss of infrastructure and investment,
then the conceptual flavor of innovation will also change as different
cultures take the lead in asking the big questions.
