Vivek: this hurt a lot of Americans. I invited you to a public debate about your claims as I’ve been fighting this insinuation of inferior American values in STEM for 35 years or more. It’s a myth that came out of the @NSF & @theNASEM. Let’s debate this in public. On camera.The claim that America is inferior in STEM is calumny. What is true is that Americans in STEM behave like *Americans*. Our own scientists aren’t going to act like employees. Our engineers aren’t going to say “Whatever you say boss!” We aren’t lining up to sign your DEI oaths.Our own scientists and engineers expect their kids to go to the top schools. They expect to get recognized for discoveries. They expect academic freedom. They expect to be financially secure. Etc etc. I say @VivekGRamaswamy, that our system produces the best STEM talent in the world and then promptly destroys most of what it produces in favor of more pliant labor. Let’s have this out.
