You have a point.
Here's a counterpoint: young people often dream of becoming the best sportsball player ever to play sportsball. Sometimes they're motivated enough to try to achieve it. Often they come up with brilliant new techniques for, uh, sporting the ball. But very few dream of making up different rules for the game of sportsball.
Still, you do for sure have a point.
there are many paths to greatness, fighting to change what came before you is an evergreen one for sure
definitely makes me reconsider revolutionaries and their movements. GK Chesterton was really onto something with his fence parable i think (if you see a fence, do you knock it down and find out why the fence was there, or do you try to find out “why fence” before taking action)
