Well starting over from first principles is exactly what the chip design and manufacture industry is doing. We also cannot afford, in non-finance terms, to burn all the resources on conservation of the existing software mess.

Automation is making it pretty easy to generalize all the abstraction into math automatically to inform how to evolve the manufacturing process.

Using American principles against Americans, it would run afoul of American free speech and agency ideals to dictate chip makers only engage in speech and agency that benefits software engineers.

Was in the room 25 years ago being instructed to help offshore hardware manufacturing as it was realized keeping such knowledge and informed workers domestic posed an existential threat to copyright cartels and media censorship interests.

It's a long term goal that was set aside during the ZIRP era as everyone was happy making money hand over fist.

Guess you all should have paid more attention to politics than believe since it only exists as a socialized theory it isn't real and can safely be ignored.

Americans make up a small portion of the 8 billion humans, and software engineers are an even smaller percent of the population. Other nations have rebuilt since the US bombed them to hell. They're not beholden to kowtow to a minority of the overall population.

Would recommend you set aside thinking in abstract philosophy puzzles and relate to world via its real physical properties.
