That’s a big flaw. The US needs to stop being at the center of everything, and now we can really see the vulnerability it causes. I hope this becomes an impulse to diversify research funding more.

The US has a /lot/ of money and people. Several other countries put together wouldn't be able to match it, especially not ones with any comparable standard of living.

  • This may be true, but what I said remains true and it’s a vulnerability that the world needs to fix. Too much power is centralized in the US.
