At some point,yes. For now though, we could work on starting earlier. Maybe finishing high school by 16 instead of 18 to get a head start.

- Someone 12y agoSpecializing earlier would help more. Does a would-be physicist need to spend time reading Shakespeare, learning piano playing? A would-be football player spend time learning to read, other than the code of playbooks? (Yes, truly optimizing for career intensity may imply making choices that do not feel right, ethically) Also, being better at predicting talent will help in the sense that more people will manage to reach the frontier of science. Having some strong driving force that forces children to take the necessary tests and follow their predictions will further increase that number. However, neither would help to lengthen one's career substantially. The best one can win is 25% or so (20 years on a 80 year life span)
