    We probably already have several ‘Mozarts’ at any one time, but due to the class system and the lack of opportunity they’re probably working in some alienating factory trying to scrape by without the time or money or access to learning and materials to engage in their creative endeavours. It’s one of the greatest tragedies of capitalism; the wasted human potential.

      IMO this can become bad thinking even though it’s true

      A person or group of people need not have the potential of Mozart, or Ramanujan, or Terence Tao in order to justify their emancipation
