How much of our global technological progress can be attributed to a handful of geniuses who happened to be at the right time and place?
How much more backward would the world be if the likes of Newton and Von Neumann hadn't existed?
I unironically believe that the government should dig up his body, retrieve DNA samples, and clone him. Populate federal labs and agencies with Von Neumann clones. Sell a few to FAAMNG too for good measure. Let uber geniuses run the nation's courts, monetary policy, tax laws, environmental protection programs, and defense planning and acquisition.
