    Even more amazingly: US aside, every single G8 country is a net *exporter* of inventors. The same is true for China and India. https://twitter.com/sknthla/status/1070031703421333504 … (Original report: https://www.wipo.int/edocs/pubdocs/en/wipo_pub_econstat_wp_8.pdf ….)

        I’m not sure why that’s amazing, since that’s the core premise of the USA. It’s where the G7++ goes to attain the latitude to experiment and altitude for those who persist. If there is a case for the existence of American Exceptionalism, this is it.

        Also: everyone loves moving to America. A more interesting chart would compare inventors to non-inventors.

        Everyone loves moving to America? Here in Canada most people don't even want to visit the States.

        There might be some bias in the data if they count inventors listed on US patents only

        It's coz of the soft power of America and the fact that its the most liberal country in the world, will remain so unless other countries build similar soft power. #needsnochart
