Very interesting, thank you. I have been feeling for a long time that the country that is going to take a lead in every category with regard to intellectual humanity going forward is going to be South Korea. In South Korea those kids are pushed to study day and night. And no summer vacations. Their parting greeting is often work hard. I know they are world leaders in technology. And they fight very hard it seems to form an eagiltarian society of the first order. They're sending their kids to the best universities around the world, and when they come back they bring all the new ideas. In their movies and dramas you can see where there is a big war going on inside their society where the young kids are trying to break down the old elitist caste system and work for a just society with things like free education and universal healthcare. They just elected their first female Prime Minister. What is especially interesting to me, is that behind Hollywood ,South Korea has developed, I think, the world's second most influential movie producing nation. The other thing that is interesting to me is how sweet and humane many of their dramas and movies are. And they all have intellectual themes woven in their movies. I love South Korea. If I was a young man, I would consider moving there, or some other Asian nation as I think I would enjoy living in their culture. I'm very drawn to the philosophical nature of their culture. <In determining who was the most innovative, Bloomberg Rankingsevaluated more than 200 countries and sovereign regions based on seven factors, such as R&D expenditure, the percentage of public high-tech companies and patent activity. While South Korea's total score was the highest, the Asian nation actually wasn't the leader in any of these categories.>
