Actually, the 17th century Dutch came up with the idea of an internal combustion engine, on gun powder and precision metal work must also have been a bit of an issue, but still....

I think the printing press had it's main relevance much earlier, in the rise of literacy and protestantism. The enligthenment was in need of the freedom of print that was the product of those two.

@norrinradd2364 I don't agree. It's cuture that breeds many inventions. The individual genious maybe not so much but when a lot of inventions are done in a certain era, there's something right about the culture and you can celebrate that and to a certain degree be part of that. As a supporter when it's in the present or as a fan when it was in the past. When you celebrate those from the past, some might be just have live a few km's down the road, that's also a message to kids and parents around you. There is a collective angle to it.

The Dutch might have the most important inventions per capita of all countries, they probably do have the most per square mile.

@norrinradd2364 I was speaking in general, a culture could breed invention, invention can also happen despite culture. But Bildung, Ausbildung, not beating up people with glasses or other anti-intellectualism, and many different little things, it matters.
