Industry determines everything by the impact it will have on its financial state in ninety days. That's it. That's what matters. We redefined competence as the ability to have that financial state be better with regard to nothing else.

Academic research rarely produces anything in 90 days.

Therefore, there will be little in the way of standing for academic research.

Yep.

Better bet for mankind at this point is for Europe or China to take up that research mantle.

(Actually, maybe best bet is for both to take up the mantle?)
