    Yes we forgot how much tech has come from communist states. china totally invents it’s own stuff and doesn’t steal IP at all…and russia is the bastion of the science world…

      China used to be behind technologically but in recent years that hasn’t really been the case. They now publish more high impact research papers than the US. Their green energy sector is also way ahead of anyone else. If the trend continues you’ll probably see US companies trying to steal Chinese IP at some point.

      China is playing catch up. Once they steal enough IP to catch up, do you think they’re going to stop and wait for more to steal? Or do you think they’ll keep going and surpass the west? If they catch up I’m pretty sure they’ll keep going. Will they catch up? Only time will tell.

        Do you know what heuristics are? You take a complicated target question that you can’t answer, and think of an easier question you can answer which you believe helps you make a good guess for your target question.

        Heuristics help us make good guesses but when you use this method to compose an argument you are wasting everyone’s time especially your own.

        “Thinking Fast and Slow” is a fantastic book to understand the mind and how we try to predict and interpret data.
