But is it a positive development on net? We are going to find out.”

Among our scientists and researchers, yes. Among the general population, not so much.

In past days we celebrated the mad scientist. Now our scientists tend toward the orderly and buttoned down: don’t suggest anything that would get you cancelled.

And then more low-skilled immigration to take care of their kids and help run their errands.”

Mr. Cowen lives in a dream world. Yeah! More immigration is the answer. And more enforcement of the scientifically unsupportable “Climate Change” nonsense.

He pins his hopes on more advanced computational power, ignoring that the necessary chips have to be imported since the West cannot make them anymore. Why would high skilled immigrants come to a country which has to print Bidenbucks and hope the Taiwanese keep on accepting them in exchange for real goods?

Mr. Cowen is stuck in his comfortable past. Not impressed!
