    Lmao. So how many “breakthroughs” happened in the US last year and how many “breakthroughs” happened in the UK?

    And how are you measuring their relative significance and scale?

    In case youre not aware, the overall point im making us that you have literally no idea how to measure innovation in a reliable or meaningful way.

    So again, I would point you to overall outcomes, rather than chasing shiny buzz words. At the end of World War 2, the US was orders of magnitude wealthier per capita then virtually every single European country, and yet, today, Europeans are happier, healthier, and richer then Americans. So all those patents helped Americans how exactly?
