South Korea is spending heavily to achieve its goal. In 1999, the country's investment in research and development (R&D) totalled 2.07% of its gross domestic product (GDP), just below the average for nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In the latest figures, the country has stretched out a clear lead at the top. The 4.29% (63.7 trillion won, or US$60.5 billion) that South Korea invested in R&D in 2014 outstrips runner-up Israel (at 4.11%), as well as regional competitor Japan and the United States. The biggest chunk of the money goes towards applied research and development in industry, but the government has made major investments in basic science, too.
Iar viitorul suna extraordinar de tentant:

4. Democrația - este sistemul politic în care conduc masele. Departe de a-l considera un progres, Platon spune că acesta este cel mai corupt sistem. Atunci când se apelează la "mulțime", și nimeni nu-și ia răspunderea în mod individual, se ajunge, în cele din urmă, la anarhie. Această fază nu poate dura foarte mult, pentru că la un moment dat, un om cu o personalitate mai puternică va spune: "Stop! Eu știu ce vreau, voi trebuie să mă ascultați." Se pare că au fost astfel de exemple în istorie...
