At minimum it’s oversimplified. That’s why I called it a parable.
I appreciate the nuance in your comment even as it is. But I’m curious about the facts/narratives you have that disagree with it?
(My personal strongest murphyjitsu was that “space program defunding” was more complicated than this. If you know more about that than I do, I’d be curious to hear about it.)
While I don’t agree with this narrative, I really enjoyed the story, thanks for writing it!

Your murphyjitsu was correct (what were you imagine was failing here… our communication?)
I like the narrative where video games caused stagnation, but if indeed there is stagnation, I don’t believe they were in the top 10 factors :).
Edit: Big maybe at top 10, certainly not top 5.
