I like the way you did the math of years!!...it is kind of interesting and got my attention. We are use to be in a confort zone, and not take risks. If at least we use 1 minute a day to think as you said the planet would be a better place and human kind would be like "aliens" hehehe
If we think about it people who comes out of their confort zone are stars and are what we call "genius" (albert einstein, da vinci, steven hawkin)
Good post
I don't know if they came out of the their comfort zones, or more so if they paths of knowledge was comfortable for them to begin with ;)
