Education is the foundation of everything; only when the breadth of education is wide enough and the number of educated people is sufficient can you continuously gain talent.
What is the most valuable in the 21st century?
Talent!
If you don't have a substantial educated population, hoping to obtain more talents like Duke Bull and Little Ai Fellow is equivalent to gambling on a rice pool with only one draw.
It's the youth shrinkage version with a probability of only one-thousandth in the rice pool, is this not a joke?
Moreover, modern science is no longer what it was two centuries ago when one Duke Bull could hold up half the sky.
Given the vast number and complex variety of modern scientific disciplines, without tens of millions of technical personnel, it's impossible to make progress.
