I agree wholeheartedly, although being in my mid 20s vs my late 30s might be a contributing factor

the dots would be Elon Musk location, and Jeff Bezos location? The concept of the Valeriepieris circle is a generalize-able concept and can be applied to all spatial data to do some dimensional reduction.
