I agree. The problem is I believe, a society does some great things and then the bureaucrats step in. Game over. People lived in Egypt long after the pyramids were built, and they didn't build any more.
Giving money to Washington or Brussels isn't likely to fuel innovation right now. Until governance (in the West anyway) is streamlined and focused again, I don't think they are going to be capable of any major research that society can afford. They can barely roll out a major website, and even that costs way too much.
