This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.
"Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made some waves on social media when he posted a scathing critique of American culture amid widespread debate over immigration and H1B visas.
His comments received mixed reactions from the right, with many criticizing him for generalizing and not being sensitive to the plight of many Americans who say they have lost opportunities because of immigration. CNN’s Scott Jennings slammed Ramaswamy, echoing these concerns.
The controversy began when Ramaswamy wrote a post on X on Thursday, arguing that tech companies tend to hire immigrants, especially through the H-1B visa program, instead of Americans because of “culture.”
The entrepreneur claimed, “American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer.” . . .
The American people are not wholly to blame for these things for glorifying such things you criticize. It has been the things that Hollywood has glorified. For the values that which you want the young people to stand for first you have to make movies, and other things.
