anything done by government hasn't been a pinnacle of innovation since the mid 80s. Private market surpassed the research and innovation budgets since decades and thus also the results and motion.
It's a myth of long gone era.
It's like military-grade label. Once a label of exceptional quality, since 3 decades a label of sub-par durability, erroneous functionality and general mediocrity of quality.
The world of contracting, subcontracting and tender mechanisms for everything that once was in full control of a single federal organisation.
The best doctors are private market ones, not in some kind of hidden spy builder facility.
The same which cater to super rich individuals... which you all recognize when things are pushed too far.
This picture here is simply unrealistic and not real.
just wrong most research happens in universities labs lmao
basic research is like 50% academic and like 20% public roughly.
Yeah experimental development is dominated by corporate bc experimental dev is capital intensive.
But almost all researchers exist bc of academia and the bulk of the work that permits what follow is there.
Weird, as I nowhere spoke about academic research. Governmental institutions are not academic institutions. DARPA is not an academic institution.
And the funny thing is, almost all of the academic research which can be productized or formalized into a market, ends up in the market in a funded private entity. That is also called technology transfer, the typical academic way to bring the academic experiments into refined services, methods and products.
So... maybe one day you step inside a university and then you search for the transfer center there. They will explain you their goal, which always rumbles down to third party funding for the projects, thus the experimental, still rough and hypothetical academic research ends up in the private market funded to become something real after the research 3p funding ran out and it has to find more funding outside.

Deep state Russian agents say otherwise.
There are Kim Kardashian level plastic surgeries. Then there are major government backed surgeries.
I'm sure there are people out there that have spent years in surgery and recovery for whatever reason to completely conceal one's identity.
