I raised awareness among my reader base. The US had really bad universities prior to WW2 and the best after WW2. And it was just because of the super-rich criminals ruling the country.
In order to dominate the world, they needed scientific and technological supremacy, therefore economic, thus military supremacy.
The unknowing would say they have government, therefore governmental culture which stems from voting culture. And some countries have higher IQs, some cultures have strict working ethics desirable for the best science. But it cannot be more wrong.
Why are universities not people’s choice
People can be hardworking, resourceful, with a good voting culture, yet their universities can be really bad.
The issue is that it is not the citizens who decide whether a university is good or not. These are our beloved puppet masters. It is not something I have made up, it is heavily based on evidence.
Every country has its puppet masters but it bears the distinction of their interconnection with the most powerful (Anglo-Saxxon) and those most powerful want only the Commonwealth to have good universities.
Since money and power are issues, for example, the Finnish politicians may (so they cannot sue me) think twice before elevating the universities.
What nations suffer most from universities without all potential exhausted?
- Finland – they have the best educational system in this world, with the exemption of universities. The unknowing would say: why?
- Sweden – it had great results before Uncle Sam started ruling the planet
- Norway – ditto
- German – since German was the language of science prior to WW2, it is surprising their universities are not the best as they were before WW2 and de facto maintain a pretty good level; you may object to the number of Nobel Prizes is really high, but my claim is they are still under their potential
Some countries won’t make it anyway
Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, and countries that are developing cannot make it anyway. A poor voting culture, poor work ethic, poor political culture, and sometimes bad genom. In the case of Japan and South Korea, they have very distinct academic cultures.
So there is no need for the US to push their level down.
In the case of Russia or China, a few people can claim Uncle Sam could have influenced even though there is, as far as 2024, an ongoing feud between the US and China, with the US pressuring China into various things (it is all deeply ingrained in the political background), and if China had good universities, it would be a nightmare for the USA.
Beg your super-rich
If I imagine the Czech oligarchs made a deal (highly improbable since they have tons of feuds between each other) with the intention of creating great universities? Of course in theory, because the US must approve it.
The Czechs have a very poor voting culture, are not overachievers, have poor working ethics, and their government is bad, thus they wouldn’t make great universities, even though the improvement of quality is possible.
Conclusion
The vast majority of countries cannot make it to the top science anyway. And the rest that can isn’t allowed either as the, as far as 2024, the big USA make sure the countries cannot do it even though their influence is not all-powerful. Using soft power (clientelist networks, secret services, people of influence) assures there is little competition for the Commonwealth dominated by the USA.
