I believe Americans invented most of the major stuff that were game changers.
A British guy invented antibiotics. That's kind of a big deal. Plus Scotland cloning a sheep.

The car was not invented in the us. Common mistake, the assembly line and mass production of the automobile startd in the us.

Read a book called Catching up or Leadin the Way by Yong Zhao. He has some great theories related to our education system. The unfortunate trend that he points out is that we are killing our edge as we move to a more standardized test dependent system like China. Meanwhile, China is trying to move to a more egalitarian less structures system to capture our creative edge.

What's your point? You sound like you're bragging about other people's smarts.

It's just the result of a number of factors coming together. The scale of our society, its wealth, widespread access to education, the robustness of our economy and so on. The Germans are probably damn close.

Americans invent things and then the Japanese perfect them. It's been that way for a hundred years.

We're the best because of Capitalism ... plain and simple.
Profit is the best motivator.
