Lol, let's just look at french intellectuals today. Bernard Henri Levy ? Henri Guaino ? i mean come on. Official culture and "pensée unique" killed French thought. In France the government decides of everything ,even official history and "protected" culture often means the same guys get money/percs from the state over and over again, shutting down any potential artistic and cultural competition. So if an artist wants to make it has better chances in UK or US. There are also technical and reputation issues like the needless complexity of the language ( I'm better at writing English than French yet I am French) and the unconditional alignment of french foreign policies with US interests ( from which we gain absolutely nothing). France is weak, its people is so desperate it elects mediocre leaders, the educated youth is moving abroad because there is very little future if you are not "well connected" and it's not going to change anytime soon.
