Yes, I realise that I was interpreting your question at the wrong level. My 5 minutes of thinking were fairly unfocused this time.

My answer to "what improves the odds of the next cell phone" would of course be "create a thriving community of rationalists dedicated to self-improvement and making the world better". If you're asking what I'd do other than that then it's a good question I'd need to think about.

If we had a huge community of those rationalists, what more would we need?
