I would hate for Google to leave the UK. The aggregated lost productivity would, presumably, be massive! And I'm part of that aggregate.
If the EU, or UK want to improve their tech chops, they should allocate more resources to the brightest of their respective populations.
If the UK scrapped the war on drugs and gave the billions which are saved/earned through taxation to people who tested as high IQ (say > 139) to invest in STEM activities, what would happen?
I'm not in the set of high-IQ individuals which I propose giving additional resources to; but it's clear in a positive sum game I would benefit greatly from their invention (creation of new products/services) and innovation (improvements of current products/services).
Unfortunately, there's a recent fetish for equal outcome for all (vs. even equal opportunity). As soon as there's equal output from all: that'll makes sense!
