I'm not convinced.
In authoritarian countries, hi..storically, engining and science has provided some of the best independent thinkers.
In the US, I think we need much better education in science and engineering, including an appreciation for scientific thought processes and scientific culture -- not necessarily engineers in the White House, but somebody there who appreciates engineers and science.
And yet, it is the US that tends to be ahead of authoritarian countries in science and technology.
