The Achilles heel of the authoritarian Iranian kings and emperors, and fanatic Ayatollahs and Mullahs, has been their incapability of marking, recruiting, and keeping the gifted Iranian scientific, innovative and creative minds and spirits happy. This is precisely the weak point in the Iranian regime’s structure, and the ancient and contemporary Iranian culture, that will lead to its implosion and fall sooner than later.
In the age of real-time global communications and cyberspace, without the loyalty and patriotism of the scientific, innovative and creative minds and spirits of a nation, that are based on the shared values of human rights, freedoms and civil liberties, it will be impossible to maintain the economic, financial and industrial stability and resiliency of a country for a long time. Without the economic, financial and industrial stability and resiliency, no regime or system of government will last long.
