Working at global scale, she can affect millions, not just a few hundred
I am 75 and still working on things I started when I was 15 and younger. Some things take that long, now. If you look, many of the over 65 in the world are abandoned and thrown on the trash heap. My Mom got really angry when my brother joked we would put her out on the tundra. Lifetimes of hard won experiences. Then you invest in untested young? About 800 Million over 65 and 2 Billion from 4-24. Many of the working billions got horrible educations, or none at all. And now need lifetime learning tools and global resources just to exist. You are thinking much too small and much too narrow and much too short term. Yes young people learn and are cute. But most people are just living their lives with few resources. Speak the name of each person on earth now, one ever 10 seconds. It will take you almost 2600 years.
You want to challenge a few young people, but you are not challenging yourself, your organizations, stakeholders, governments and their people. It is not what you are doing and saying, it is how hard you are willing to work and how long to get things done at global scale. At humans species scale. At true Internet scale. At real AI scale.
