    Caleb Watney - America's Innovation Engine

    Caleb Watney, Tom Cotton, Eric Weinstein, Biden, Trump

    Caleb Watney warns that America's innovation engine is stagnating due to declining high-skill immigration, the erosion of physical industrial clusters, and rigid university systems. He argues that maintaining U.S. technological leadership requires specific policy reforms, including replacing the H-1B lottery with salary-based ranking and increasing federal R&D efficiency to counter geopolitical challenges from authoritarian rivals. Ultimately, Watney posits that unlocking talent through open immigration and reducing regulatory barriers is the most effective strategy to preserve the dynamic ecosystem necessary for sustained economic growth.
