I agree with that. Money seems to flow to "safe" products. Some minor iteration of payments, CRM, taxis or fitness.

How do you fix it when the incentives are skewed towards quick bucks? Government pushing certain industries has worked for China. There'll be a lot of opposition to that in the US I'd imagine.

That's not even remotely accurate. There's a huge amount of investment capital flowing to other sectors. Just because people aren't posting about it on HN doesn't mean it's not happening.

It happens to a degree in the US with federal research grants, but maybe not to the extent of other countries.
