Armageddon

Article 2; a totally incomprehensible rant by two American academics on the Australian government’s so-called innovation policy .

Basic premise; innovation is bad because (a) it has wreaked havoc on all the good old ways of doing things, (b) governments should focus on meat and veg issues liked health and education, (c) it only benefits the few, and (d) although it had brought us productivity gains, it will also bring us Armageddon.

They seemed not to have noticed that the government’s innovation policy is just an advertising campaign and that the innovation is restricted to the new idea of promoting an innovation policy where the innovation is just the promotion itself. Quite innovative!

I wonder if the deluded professors, if so informed, would be outraged by the empty innovation policy? I guess so; their own thesis is happily devoid of logic. But it obviously keeps them fed.
