It’s a simple decision (leaving your political attitudes aside): 1. either you want to be isolated from the rest of the world (except china and iran) or not 2. which values are better fit to your nature - radical fundamentalism and totalitarianism, or democracy and capitalism All your life (social, financial, cultural, spiritual, business) is going to be shaped by those 2 decisions. Because environment does matter. For example - have you heard of many successful international startups founded in iran? And chances are the longer you wait with the decision - the less opportunity window you might have.
