- thorncorona 2y agoI suspect if you adjusted for market cap, Taiwan would be higher ;)

- nitwit005 2y agoImagine randomly picking a hundred points on the globe. By coincidence, you pick one location in a small country. Now you look at the density of points by population, and that small country has an unusually high density. Grouping data by country tends to get you these small country outliers for almost any statistic.
- invalidname 2y agoThat data isn't random, it's based on countries, cultures, demographics etc. You see the correlation beyond number of unicorns. You see it in academic awards and achievements too. Claiming that data is just random seems lazy. If Israel is doing things right, it's worth studying why and emulating it elsewhere.
- nitwit005 2y agoI, of course, did not make any claim that the world is somehow random. That was what is known as an analogy.
