Not to mention, many would be able to work for or create startups, small businesses, or heck, just bum around or retire if they had saved enough over the years. Companies hate employees having this kind of flexibility. Just on some other th

On a tangent, does anyone here have any experience with other high IQ societies like the triple nine society? Are they any good for networking (especially for people not in the US/Canada)?

Not important at all in my experience. Build something people will pay for. That is the biggest stumbling block for most entrepreneurs. All this stuff comes into play once you have already become successful and scaled.
