You know, I have a publication from Europe that has listed in its latest edition all the things that European countries are now doing to attract American scientists, especially young people who are finding that their careers are cut off or ended because of what's going on. And so talent can move to Europe easily, and we'll be watching to see what happens in the United States four years from now.

If it doesn't change, they'll stay in Europe, just like the emigres moved to the United States when the atmosphere changed radically in Nazi Germany, for example, or fascist Italy. So what happens will depend on a lot of things that I don't pretend to know the future, but I do know that science is going to continue elsewhere.

And particularly in the EU, Canada is going to reinvest in the new prime minister said he will reinvest in science and in China. China is investing huge, huge amounts and increasing it by 10, 20% a year. over the next few years.

And so if one thinks about the standoffs between these two great superpowers, the United States and China, we have the United States attacking one of its most powerful weapons in the current 21st century war between countries and the Chinese investing. Now, which one do you think is right? Well, I go back to what Harry Truman said after World War II.

Science played a major role in winning World War II. The drones that were used or are being used by the Ukraine in the war on Russia, those drones are largely powered by artificial intelligence. AI didn't just happen. AI came out of universities. You know, the Nobel Prize in physics this year went to Jeffrey Hinton, who works at the University of Toronto.

So the new weapons of warfare are largely going to come out of universities. I think that's not a prediction. That's a safe prediction. And yet Americans are attacking those universities where all this is happening.
