The author is a professor of "monetary theory, financial economics, and welfare economics" yet posits the IQ requirements of chipmaking with logic that appears to have been pulled out of his ass. "A single speck of dust can ruin a production run." As if that is the only thing requiring such delicate hands. Even if we accept his assertion that we need rocket scientist-level folks to build chips, he seems to forget that demand is shared by all the other things that need rocket scientists, including but not limited to actual rocket science. To say nothing of the wonderful irony of an american professor using such faulty logic to write a post about how stupid americans are. And can we talk about his unspoken faith in IQ testing?
