Why electoral politics?
Very common story.
Yes.
And the flip side of this is that after World War II, all the electeds were in their 20s because it was like all these war veterans who just came home.
And so Congress, if you actually looked at people who were elected officials in like the 1948 Congress.
And most of them were probably in their 20s or at least half.
Right.
So it's pretty astounding.
What is your message then to young people who might be feeling pretty cynical?
I know it.
If not cynical, helpless about civics right now.
Oh, I love this.
I wish we'd started here.
I know.
Maybe we should.
So what does innovation or a good idea look like to you or mean to you?
Oh, so a good idea has staying power.
Okay.
A good idea sticks.
What would you say is the merit to distilling big ideas into something like a TED Talk now that you've done it?
