Janissaries work great. Steal talent from other, poorer, communities, and relocate them to rich areas with loyalty to their new masters and shame for their roots. Great way to run an Empire, or coastal elite cities.

Try reading the article before commenting, no psychic powers needed. Collison grew up in a small town in Ireland. Marc Andreessen, another funder of the Pioneer Fund, grew up in a small town in Wisconsin.

It’s pretty dumb to say “talent is uniformly distributed” (the salmon never gets to eat the eagle!), but ultimately all they really need for this company to succeed is to have a mismatch between the geographic distribution opportunity and that of talent.
