The moment Europe decided to regulate tech, it decided in effect to stagnate. Innovation and creativity are incompatible with regulation. Unfortunately for us, tech is where progress happens currently. Europe is being left behind. Not that it was very competitive in the first place anyway.

While true, I think they do innovate in policy around it. Regulation is an ever-evolving field as well and they do think about it more.

But yes, in a half-century I'm very curious where Europe will be. India passed the UK in gdp recently and Germany sooner or later.
