I know this is all tongue-in-cheek, but seriously, isn't YC all about going outside your comfort zones? Pushing the edges? Who amongst us is born knowing they'd be successful at leading a startup?

It's called democracy for a reason.

Technically we are still a republic.

No.

Technically, we're a federal constitutional republic and a representative democracy.

The "representative" part was implied in my previous comment.
