I was a high school student deeply interested in a particular social or political issue and interested in doing something about the subject. My advice to my high school self (which my high school self would not have followed) would be to join the military. Buckminster Fuller credits his time in the Navy with initiating his thinking about global resources and some of his mathematics. Military experience would have helped me do what I do now better. I think it would do many young people better.
