Nobel Laureate Thomas Sargent drops a massive reality check. The US built its scientific dominance by taking in minds fleeing the Nazis. Now, due to the toxic environment in American universities, top scientists are desperately leaving. The US empire is collapsing.

@laurasweetjane Yep….Einstein in California, 1933

Fact check: The United States built its scientific dominance not by using Jews fleeing the Nazis, but by importing the Nazis themselves in Project Paperclip. The atomic bomb program was going nowhere. It had Jews from the start and stagnated—until Nazi scientists were brought in

The people who are driving them away don't value science, though.

@Bellmanequation Sargent right on point

@Jbw29Joyce Proof positive:-

Did I mention I'm hiring a post-doc for my ERC grant? Email me.

the @realDonaldTrump effect. we are not likely to recover our edge. no one has done so much damage to our nation in so little time. shocking to me that this @gop continues to allow our ongoing debasement @WhiteHouse @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @LeaderJohnThune @SpeakerJohnson

It's a tragedy. A small group of low IQ criminals with náźí tendencies is ruining our country. The vast majority of Americans are good people who hate this. We need a complete overhaul in the US.

Quick fact after WW2 all of Europe and Asia was devastated from conflict. Manufacturing and infrastructure suffered. The US was one of the few places relatively unharmed. This allowed the US to thrive in a vacuum.

@piyushmittal Fleeing the Nazis, and a few fleeing Nazis too

@ProsaicView Good for the rest of the world. American arrogance is their real No. 1 enemy.

Where are these scientists going?

Yeah—I have been stalled in building the tech want to because of surveillance state tech reasons. But think time to move past that. Somehow.

You mean, first they took in those scientists and others talented individuals fleeing the Nazis. After the War, they took in scientists and others who were nazis.

@sc_cath Jews are always the best, that’s not news

Bill, you showed up under Easter. So maybe you'd like my Substack I didn't know Sargent was still alive. Did you attend his visiting prof course at Harvard?

The draining of the "brain drain" is accelerating! But as long as we have used/new car salesman and onlyfan hoes, we should be ok!

Bullshit!

It's also the blame of countries who cast them out to find another country to infect, knowing full well they will regroup and keep destroying. Going to make that mistake again? Regular innocent citizens are the people who pay the price for this negligence. Over & over and over.

@rolandsmartin Next President must take decisive action to reverse the damage on recruiting and retaining top talent and funding key projects.

@morgfair Yay

@FabioGhironi #Palantir avrà già la tecnologia per stanare i futuri terroristi in culla? @Tonibaruch non può scrivere su Twitter tutto quello che pensa di Anna Foa. Beddamatri! @annapaolaconcia Gesù. @bettafiorito 😎

MAGA! American scientist positions are for MAGAmericans! Those foreign scientists should just go to Singapore! No seriously, please do come to Singapore Or Hong Kong Or Europe Or even China We welcome all of you.

scientific dominance was built also with huge budgets. no one is doing that part now

Не приказвай глупости...

There is no point whatever in training America's enemies in American science, technology, & advanced thinking. In the 1930s in nuclear physics & in 1945 in rocketry, America was not the leading intellectual nation. But now it is. The top scientists in the world are American.

no, the problem in nepotism. Choosing the most connected vs the brightest.

Something they don't discuss. The American public is not that smart.

EUには大チャンスなんだよね～。

@BachmannRudi @BachmannRudi Die klügsten Köpfe gehen gerade aus den USA. Sie haben das selbst repostet. Wie geeignet sind die USA in ihrer derzeitigen Form für Wissenschaftler, für Familien, für Kinder?

Academia has been ideologically captured so the quality of science has plummeted.

Can you list the 10 most important of these top scientists? Because I don't buy it, and I *want* it to be true.

@rolandsmartin No. Being collapsed

Our science dominance got us the highest covid death rate in the world
