Calvinism rules everything around me

Maybe reading too much into it but this is why I think China won’t surpass US in 0-1 no matter how good it gets in 1-100.

The culture is all about presentation and outward success and that this is done on a collective level not individual. So success and failure is collective and not individual. Which doesn’t create an environment where you can fail enough times and in the “embarrassing” ways required to innovate 0-1. 

Obv generalizing but that’s my mental model.
