      Anytime someone points to the Saudis as an example to follow…probably don’t need to listen to anything else they say.

      I am no troll. I believe that I see the world as it is. I guess so do you.

      Doesn’t matter much though. No matter what we do. We will see who is right. Luckily time passes all by itself. For now.

          I take offence in being called a troll. It’s insulting. You can’t just call someone a troll with a different opinion and claim that this invalidates my argument.

        But we’ve already seen who’s right. Most innovation comes from public universities and institutes.

          This is simply wrong. Basic research comes from universities and institutes.

          But most research, Including research with application potential, comes from the privat sector. This includes the Pharma industry, the medical industry, the chemical industry, semi conductor industry and informatics.

          It is mainly driven by big companies. In constant need to outperform their competition, or not to fall behind in research and innovation.
