    If every extant human didn’t need to worry about survival, we’d have 10,000 Mozarts. We could get there if we had zero billionaires.

      Even if these two just swallowed their pride and funded free music education for all ages we’d at least have thousands of Mozarts…

      …do these guys even listen to contemporary composers anyway? Could they even identify a modern Mozart? My bet is no. They just have so much ego they believe they’d know about it instantly despite their lack of any intimate knowledge of the subject.

      Those delusional fucks think they’re the current Mozarts.

      A thousand times this.

      If you look at the history of scientific discovery, you’ll find that a great many of those making discoveries were born into wealth, or at least some degree of stability.
