Sometimes perfecting the one thing can be the enemy of getting any traction on anything else.

There's people who actually have a whole science devoted to what makes a sticky meme and that idea of that question of why some ideas about how civilizations work catch on and others don't.

I was very interested in politics in college and was heading to be a lawyer. I have a degree in economics and I was interested in it. I hadn't really gotten super serious about it and I'd done a lot of student politics in high school. I really think it would be interesting and fun and challenging to go into politics.

I'm a patriot, and I think democracy is the best system available. It's very flawed, but it works better than anything else.
