It’s not hard to work out stats of a flourishing society.
A serious swing at an identity-defining win takes ~2 years, and you need a nonzero-sum win before age 30 to not turn into a sucky human.
So economy needs to give *average* people 7 tries with 1/7 win probability by 30

Yeah not economic. Just identity defining. The sense that your life has a meaning and purpose and that you’re needed on the human stage.

Your math is writing checks your nouns can't cash:
'Identity-defining win'
'Nonzero-sum win'
'Sucky human'
