I see bureaucracy and government control of education is primary speed breakers in the human potential in the coming decade.<p>The way I see it human creativity is expanding at rapid rate than ever thanks to advancement in technology. The government is however slow, rigid, corrupt and unwilling to relent. This is a clash that is going to define the coming decade or so. If the government wins, I am pretty sure there wont be any improvement in an Average American&#x27;s life.<p>One has to look at countries like India which were totally government controlled upto 90s. From 1950s to 1990s India barely changed. Everyone remained poor. Some minor reforms led to explosive growth.<p>In USA I see the trend as opposite. We have a government that is focused on intangible and dubious goals such as climate change while hurting people with ridiculous regulation.
