For a while now China has been trying to figure out what it is that makes America so "Inventive". They have us beat in numbers, discipline, tech, production and just about EVERY other field... But they do NOT have the "ability" to invent. And I think I discovered why... Firstly, the obvious one... China was on lockdown for 100 years, they didn't agree with industrialization and chose not to embrace it, and so they didn't trade with other countries in order to preserve their tradition, so now they are about 100 years behind in terms of inventing, but they are very good at taking a blue print and mass producing it, or adding something to it. Secondly, the other main reason we are more inventive than them. Invention is motivated by poverty (class differentiation) and laziness, and china simply does not allow their people to be lazy and EVERYONE is poor, so really no one is poor. And because they don't have laziness, or 'poverty' (a class to aspire to be, which inspires invention). And, just a side note. Now that I am getting paid for writing, I will be able to make my smoking invention
