High levels of investment, mandatory military service, and exceptionally good education.

If you ever get the chance to talk to someone from Israel, especially someone in tech who was raised in Israel, I recommend it. Ask them about where they went to school. You'll learn a lot.

> exceptionally good education.

Is that so?!

I’m an Israeli and I assumed that it’s the really bad education that is responsible for stronger skepticism and Chutzpah.
