A country's backwardness is often not due to a lack of creativity. The real problem lies in decision-makers mistaking wishful thinking for competitiveness.

You can't build high-cost industries by importing low-cost competitors and then claim you're "learning." This logic simply doesn't hold. Industrial upgrading requires clear strategic vision, not self-deceptive policies.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times in the crypto world. A bunch of projects boast about their "innovation," but in reality, they are just copy-pasting, and then they end up losing everything while claiming they're learning. Truly, self-deception is the most toxic.

Exactly right, this is "self-hypnosis development," and in the end, you can only stay in the same place.

That was a harsh statement, but it indeed hit the nail on the head. The most frightening thing about self-deceiving policies is that even the decision-makers believe in them.

Basically, it's just self-deception, pretending low-end capacity is high-end.
