which is why 99% of the world's ingenuity and tech/medical breakthroughs happen in the U.S.

culturally they just don't care about invention or discovery, would rather just stand on the shoulders of others

Yes, i have noticed China likes to steal and emulate all of our cool shit instead of making their own cool shit. They're actually quite notorious for it.

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. are also obsessed with enforcing their IP Laws. It's simply in their interests to do so, whereas it's in China's interest not to enforce them.

The latest blockchain based bullshit. It's pretty much just a scheme to make money off stupid people by trying to make digital items like images collectable.

I miss when the internet was an egalitarian effort and the goal was to give everyone access to everything, to level the playing field. Now it's "haha i put dis cryptographic tag on a jpg and now only i own it!"

I mean I would broaden his statement to the west in general, but otherwise yeah.

Places like China have a rich history of invention dating back to ancient times, but within the last several decades China has basically forsaken innovation in favor of barnacle-ing off of other countries/companies breakthroughs.

Are you talking about the application of NFTs or are you talking about NFTs themselves? You need to be more specific when making such a bold take.

Intellectual property is tyranny and should be abolished in entirety without replacement.
Would you say the same if you had your own ip that you were trying to make money off of?
