just to effect any meaningful change of direction there would need to be a bi-partisan plan carried out through several election cycles and administrations ... so the whole concept is simply DOA ... the political climate has become too tribal on a curve that will not unbend soon
on one side spending priorities tend towards nepotism so pockets are lined and on the other on current problems that require tremendous expenditures [with some hands in the cookie jar too] let alone funding for any altruistic, humanist plans for the future. on top of that to coordinate the US direction with the other major powers where their govt systems are at least as dysfunctional is just too huge of an ask
it's heartening that you've some ideas and vision though
I just can't help having a nihilistic forecast knowing the nature of the beast with climate change breathing down 'our' necks ... the progress you point to though substantial is not self perpetuating
