This is eye-opening. Europe’s share of global tech R&D has collapsed from 23% in 2005 to just 8% today, while the US has climbed to 62% and China has risen from near zero to 15%. South Korea now outspends Germany, France, the UK, and Italy combined in tech R&D. Yep, you read that right.
This is the predictable result of policy choices that systematically favor control and redistribution over growth. Layered regulation, data rules, AI restrictions, labor rigidities, and precautionary frameworks, raises the cost and slows the pace of turning ideas into products, forcing companies to spend scarce resources on compliance rather than experimentation. High taxation and expansive redistributive systems extract capital that would otherwise fund private R&D and risk-taking, while shrinking the after-tax reward for building something new and scaling it. The broader left-leaning mindset that prioritizes equality of outcome over dynamism treats entrepreneurial success as something to be managed, taxed, or shared rather than unleashed and rewarded.
Places that protect the returns to innovation and keep barriers low continue to pull ahead, attracting talent and capital that Europe increasingly loses. Europe’s relative decline is the cumulative outcome of treating dynamism as a problem to be regulated rather than the engine of prosperity. Without a shift toward lighter rules, lower burdens on enterprise, and greater tolerance for unequal outcomes from unequal effort, the gap will keep widening, and Europe will become an open-air museum for wealthy Americans and Asians.
Povedano drugače, oni verjamejo, da je Gaza kolateralna škoda Netanjahujevega brutalnega oklepanja oblasti, ne racionalen odziv države na terorističen napad neslutenih razsežnosti. Iz tega izpeljejo sklep, da če menjajo Netanjahuja bo vse po starem. Nikoli več ne bo, kot je bilo.
Vprašanja svobodne volje se znanstvena skupnost izogiba zato, ker je preveč znanstvenikov ideološko investiranih vanj. Gre namreč za ljudi, ki so zrasli z ali na apokalipsi jezdecev ateizma. Če pa priznamo svobodno voljo, nevarno stopimo v bolje gospoda na B.
Dopolnimo, ne samo v Gazi, tudi na t.i. Zahodnem bregu je Mahmud Abas na oblasti brez volitev že od januarja 2005.

Worst apartheid ever.
The Islamist who helped form Israel’s last coalition government is back at the polls today with his hijabi wife, casting his ballot in another democratic Israeli election in which he may well end up playing kingmaker.
