Sure. The reason for stupid ideas, like Lysenko, taking over is lack of competition, which is inherent to communism, In a capitalist system people are searching for ways to make money for themselves, so there are enough competing ideas being tried out with private money. If the money runs out before profits are made, the ideas stop. When government can keep subsidizing bad ideas they don't stop, they just keep getting bigger and more stupid.

1. Embrace AI. For no other reason than that every useful technology, no matter how dodgy it was at first, has taken over.

2. Quality over quantity. The question is not yes/no on AI, but how to make AI work for us. I suggest manufacturing.

3. Don't be a Chinese stooge. The Chinese oppose American data centers for obvious reasons.
