Innovation is when you charge $300 for a vial of insulin

Would anyone be surprised to find out Gao is part of the Falun Gong cult?
Middle aged Chinese ladym handing out pamphlets at my local mall, looked at the pamphlet and it was Falun Gong, I told her "hell nah!"
but I thought China is Capitalist since Deng Xiaoping but now it's communist?
China does good thing = capitalism
China does bad thing = communism
Salvador Allende was this close to using crypto and gaming to create a radical decentralized universal basic income before he got 9/11'd by Nixon, but go off, queen
Innovation is when we find new ways to exploit and hurt each other. Anything else is just frivolity
Humans are only curious to make money didn't you know?
Back in the old old days god would give you modern banknotes to be curious about what happen when you put seeds in dirt. 
China already leads in tech. Even in the places where the US has held onto their advantage the longest, like military R&D, China is overtaking us, but on an "overall" level we got lapped a while back.
Communism is incapable of directing all the brightest minds towards making ads 3% more manipulative which is why its doomed to failure.
If only China still had landlords forcing people to sell their children into slavery and women being unable to walk more than 50 metres because their feet are bound. Imagine how advanced a country they could be then. 
Oh, it's the mistaking the output of capital as being innovation and not just rent-seeking episode again

I find that line of thinking ironic considering how throughout the 10s, so many smart people who could have been doctors or engineers instead became web developers and data scientists for glorified advertising companies
Hey Simone Gao, why was the cult you are a part of setting children on fire in the 90s? Was it because of innovation?
Doing what now?!
Actually, I was off by a bit: in January 2001, a group of Falun Gong cultists self-immolated in Tiananmen Square, bringing their children with them and setting them on fire, leading to the death of a 12 year old girl. This is who western liberals support.
Omg, they were trying to do like the monk resistance to the crack down on Buddhists in South Vietnam, weren't they? That doesn't seem as great when you make other people do it...
they should have published this article 20 years ago, by 2023 it was obvious weapons grade copium. like they were far and away beating the US in every emerging industry.
A social and economical order which gives people more free time is incapable of nurturing curiosity sure
