It would take a lot of luck, hard work, and intelligence, and all this predicated on certain trends that are subject to rapid change, but I see a theoretical path to becoming an insanely powerful and influential individual before me.
Of course, anyone could be powerful with all those things I mentioned, but this is a clear, concrete path open to a relatively small subset of the population that I happen to be a part of. The issue is, I don't think I have the work ethic or intelligence to actually succeed in going down this route, but I don't know anyone else with a morality deserving of such position.
