> You only have to visit a random science postgrad program and see students from all over the world represented - even at prestigious US universities, having immigrated after doing their undergraduate studies elsewhere.
Why would you expect students to not be represented proportionally?
If anything, you should expect a disproportionate share because admissions weight races and ethnicities - especially, if as you claim - science education is better (it's not) in Rwanda or Rangoon than The US or the EU.
> The talent is already present, but lacking connectivity and experience.
You are pretty much reiterating my argument. The developed world is, by definition, behind. This puts people who live there at a disadvantage - in general - to people who live in the developed world.
- howmayiannoyyou 5y agoYou're not current on technical innovation and vertical integration programs in: - Turkey (eg. software, defense, drones, medical device manufacturing) - Pakistan (eg. aerospace, maritime, defense) - India (eg. medical, chemical, pharma, defense) - Russia (eg. defense, materials) - Brazil (eg. software, aerospace, textiles) - Malaysia (eg. high tech, primary metals, value-add mfg) - Indonesia (eg. primary metals mfg & vertical integration) - China (eg. everything) If you were current you would know what you're saying is mostly wrong, and true at the far less impactful margins.
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoI already mentioned China and India which are >90% of the technology outputs from the economies you mentioned. One would expect a country the size of Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil, and Mexico to produce something. It is not surprising that they do. Are you current with the fact that FAANG+M alone are bigger by orders of magnitude than the tech scene in any of those countries AND, importantly, that they are growing much faster?
