One of the issues that arise from have a government that wraps everyone in cotton wool and restricts what they can buy, what they can do and what they should think is that they stifle the natural innovation that everyone has. Because they can no longer get access to the tools or the materials they learn not to think about changing things. Progress stalls and our species progress is held back.
This article about a Russian boy who has invented a small electromagnetic gun shows how far we are slipping. He couldn’t have done this in the UK. It’s reserved for the experts only and they didn’t do it because there is only so much R&D money to go around and this government wants more surveillance and databases to keep track of its criminals, sorry citizens.
Now because it’s a gun many in the UK will have their hands to their mouths and eyes wide with fear because it can well kill. Shock horror. In Russia he will get a job and money from this. In the UK he would get a criminal record and some time IF he had survived the visit from Plod.
How many other areas are we stifling innovation? How many years will we lose in progress?
Calamity awaits us unless we can generate resources for our growing populations. Socialist governments always end in failure. Will one ending spell the end of our species?
Lost opportunities
