      Imagine how much more advanced society would be today if women, who comprise half the world’s brain power, were socially & intellectually enfranchised from the beginning of civilization.

      Doesn't it seem like an unavoidable side effect of the situation of society a few hundred years ago? Modern technology allows for a lot more time for education and scholarship since were not all starving and our babies aren't mostly dying in infancy

      Also these days we don't have to have so many people involved in agriculture to produce enough food. Certainly there were reasons that explain why we couldn't harness more brain power (including simply not wanting to in many societies).

          I’m interested in the examples of geniuses who could have brought huge change decades early, but for some misfortune/quirk affecting them. Henry Cavendish discovered an enormous amount of electricity and gas principles a hundred yrs early but never revealed them to the world.

          Mahlon Loomis is another example that comes to mind. Discovered radio but the Chicago fire decimated his only funding source to understand his discovery. He was thought of as a crackpot and died in obscurity.

          Another important question to bring up is... is it a good thing to progress to quickly? America sure is struggling to respond to technological change in the best way.

          That's a fantastic question actually (& something I've been sort of working on...for a project maybe...). Can the pace of change be too rapid? If so, could you artificially inhibit it? (would you just be left in the dust by some society that didn't inhibit their pace of change?)

          I work in the tech industry, where the young always have a huge, but short-lived advantage, until their skills obsolesce in a few short years, unless you can maintain a young learner's mentality throughout your career. It feels like a microcosm of the broader forces at play..

          I'm surprised at those executives short sightedness about finding the best talent for the long run, but I believe you

          I really don't think it's the executives' fault, it's more a byproduct of the rapid pace of refinement in how you build tech and what it can do. Executives are often left in the dust too when they settle for the tried and true, and are later supplanted by newer better upstarts.
