I think this is a real problem in the West.

Consider how much brain power and resources have been spent on quant finance and crypto now in the past 20 years.

Imagine if all those resources had been spent on something more productive.

Think of the worldwide effort, resources and brain power spent on memes since the creation of the internet, if we didn't create the internet surely we could be sending people to other galaxies by now.
