At what age does the fraction of people who are still relevant to anything beyond their personal lives fall below 10%? 🤔

14. Median age of maximal potential. I’d say 90% of people are relevant to the world at large at that age. Children are the future etc.

Sorry, unparseable. At whose age? Fraction of people out of what? cf

Can that be quantified? At all times and at all ages people everywhere are influencing children, families, neighborhoods, policies, organizations in any number of ways. And influencing those who influence.

It's always below 10%. Most people simply don't matter except to their friends & loved ones. They may have a job, even a good one, but they don't impact society in any real way & for the most part are entirely replaceable and forgettable as workers. Only a few ever move the bar.
