[vkqnrqew] Kids in public policy

People get amazingly good at things, frequently arts and entertainment, sometimes hobbies.  Is society allocating "raw talent" optimally (assuming it raw talent can be developed into many things)?

For example, we don't see child prodigies in public policy, even though it isn't necessarily more complicated than grandmaster chess or virtuoso violin.  Perhaps it's a matter of access and/or making information available (transparency).  Those in power have probably erected barriers to entry (preventing access by capable people), so the lack of diversity in the field points to a flaw in society.

Inspired by many people, most recently Youtube freddiew.
