You know, this makes me think about the history of the US. I would say the Renaissance writers and "founding fathers" were the tail end of the curve when we think about all the nations of the earth and the histories we know of.. there was a tiny population which made the way for a nation that's still relatively small (in population) compared to other large counties, based in the most radical ideas of individual liberty since roaming nomads. This is a little closer to American exceptionalism than I would typically like, since I'm an individualist, but I have to acknowledge that those who are exceptional seem to be drawn together, and form exceptional groups to do exceptional things. I would say that the US has done this, specifically in the enormous context of all known human history. But, I do feel blessed to come from that tail end, rather than the middle of the curve where we find the most population in Asia. But there are exceptional populations in Asia too (like siamstr).
Anyway, old guy rembling here...
