Bless his heart, but George Magnus has been writing this kind of nonsense since I was in knee pants. His 'predictions' are always aligned to the Current Thing and always wrong.

But he's hit a new low this time: he's even wrong about the present.

China leads in ALL areas of scientific research, and by a comfortable margin, thanks to its abundance of geniuses and an annual R&D investment that grows with GDP and is now 400% bigger than America's.

We're doomed if experts like George are the best we've got but at least George is not calling for nuclear war.
