He was very adamant that this is the case, but he's not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I'm wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The "60 years behind" thing I mean?

    How would you even measure that? Consumer electronics sales? What year is the TV from? How many TVs do 1.4 billion people need to catch up with how many TVs per 0.3 billion people? How many HDR TVs per 4K TV? How many average TVs per meter of high speed train? It's just nonsense on its face.

      Pretty much what I was thinking. I'm sure you could twist some numbers into fitting that definition, but yeah.
