“When you innovate, you create innovative things in your marketplace and the jobs can’t go overseas because they haven’t figured out how to do it yet. One of the symptoms of an absence of innovation is the fact that you lose your jobs. Everyone else catches up with you, and they can do what you do better than you or cheaper than you, and at a multinational, free-market enterprise, it is their company’s obligation to take the factory to a place where they can make it more cheaply. But in the ’60s and ’70s, was anyone complaining that jobs were going overseas? I don’t remember that. Because we were innovating in ways that the rest of the world was playing catch up. So, for me, the motivation is to compel the nation to want to do this as a stoking force on our economy. Once the nation wants to do it, the pressure then gets put on our lawmakers and then what they end up putting into place is the expression of our wishes, not some political whim that happens to make a good campaign slogan.”
This is a fantastic video from the Research Channel, in which Thomas Cech of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (isn’t it great to know that all that Hughes money didn’t just go into airplanes and craziness?) interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson (of lots of things, but most visibly NOVA on PBS) about science and educating people about it.
