This speech is so obviously correct, it's incredibly painful to simultaneously understand that it comes not from the mainstream of D.C. opinion, but from the "fringes" of the America First movement. We are in deep trouble.
Outstanding speech. There is a lot of content packed into a concise speech that is also easily accessible. The grave import should be immediately grasped by any sane person. You seem to have found the perfect niche; or to put it another way, you found a gigantic problem hiding in plain sight that has eluded the view of most. And not only that, but you will play a role on the plane of deeds rather than merely of speeches when it comes to solving it.
I noticed that in the central section of the speech you lay out 3 realities we have to confront; the first and last realities each recieve one paragraph only whereas the the center reality, industrial, receives three full paragraphs. Does that indicate that this problem is the hardest to solve? I.e., via Galvanick, the digital problem can be solved. Likewise, it is also thinkable that we could turn again to our own nation's reserves of minerals. BUT, the remaining problem, moving industry to the United States and not relying on hostile countries to produce our industrial digital equipment, is much more difficult inasmuch as there is a lot inertia within the ruling class not to do this?
Ack. 100% on point. Australia is in same quandary/quagmire<&also like we r The Family Guy character Quagmire of the 5 also>especially as we are predominate as a Big School & Big Mine for Asia. Selling assets cheaply and minerals unrefined largely not with security partners. Channel clear.
Just saw you on Moment of Truth, so I checked this out, and I love seeing this. This is what I've been saying for over 15 years now — in a slightly different context, that of DRM rather than of hardware manufacturing, though with DRM taking on a hardware component in the form of TPM chips they're not so different anymore — but it's the same basic idea: giving low-level access to our computer infrastructure to untrustworthy parties is a recipe for future disaster.
The way I put it is, if some rogue state such as China or Iran wanted to bring the US to its knees, which would be more difficult 1) to do and 2) to get away with, avoiding retaliation?
a) Wage conventional war with soldiers, tanks, planes, ships, or even nuclear weapons. Or...
b) Infiltrate one engineer into the right position at Microsoft or Intel.
Sad to see you haven't posted in half a year. Your work is very insightful and I'd love to see more of it!
aux USA, vous disposez encore d'un certain pan d'industrie de la microélectronique, avec des savoir-faire d'ingénierie et de production qui sont encore disponibles (mais volume, en quantité et en qualité insuffisante). Imaginez le problème et la menace pour un pays comme la France (et par extension l'Union Européenne), eu égard à l'état de notre industrie de la microélectronique !

We're living the end of the Trojan War - except this isn't a story and the citizens are demanding the horse be brought into the city.

Very helpful work as always.

Great article. We have lost so much know how, but some of us are still out here making things in America.

bonjour,
aux USA, vous disposez encore d'un certain pan d'industrie de la microélectronique, avec des savoir-faire d'ingénierie et de production qui sont encore disponibles (mais volume, en quantité et en qualité insuffisante). Imaginez le problème et la menace pour un pays comme la France (et par extension l'Union Européenne), eu égard à l'état de notre industrie de la microélectronique !
Brilliant!
