[dqfewwgx] Man in search of a vision

Hypothesize that society produces at an appreciable rate highly capable people who do not know what to do with their abilities, and that the success of institutions and endeavors depend critically on wooing these people to join.  If so, we would expect intense competition for these people, something far more insidious and vicious, with no-holds-barred psychological warfare, than we see in the labor market.

Is such competition occurring but somehow invisible?  Or it could be that the hypothetical assumptions are wrong.

Inspired by, many prominent institutions seem to anchored by a few very capable people.  What would the world be like if they had applied their talents elsewhere?
