The cliched phrase 'Timing is everything' captures what's wrong with the 'cultural filtering' in our  country. Doubling or tripling the number of young people your age with your level of success would be far better than having another Elon Musk. A goal of 10 to 100 times the actual number of young successful (at your level) people globally would increase the chance of doubling or tripling that number. It would increase the chance that true democracy could emerge and would make it a lot easier to deal with broken and evil people. David Butler
