The only thing I could think of with the whole “1000 Mozarts” comment is that there’s a very real chance that if the world Musk and Bezos envision came true, those Mozart level geniuses would be working in an Amazon fulfillment center or a Tesla assembly line, wasting their talents as a slave to capitalism.
That’s actually something that’s likely already happening, assuming they manage to even achieve that.
I guarantee there are tons of potential geniuses born that are never afforded the chance to develop or even demonstrate their abilities… and when they do, aren’t recognized. Either because they are from the dirty poors and/or the Moneybags family can just leverage their resources to ensure their kids get the opportunity or recognition instead.
If you don’t believe in fairness or equality, the potential benefits to yourself by way of improvements to society from geniuses should motivate you.
I’m so tired of the pattern of a well balanced society flourishing and then a few selfish fuckwads hoard resources and starve their society back into a stagnant imbalanced fief.
Those famous people became famous because they had the chance to.
They were lucky not just be born in one of the wealthiest countries but also in a situation that allowed them to develop their talent.
If a child with Mozart’s talent would be born in southeast-asia or subsaharan africa then I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to foster that talent if they are busy carrying water for their family or working in a mine.
If they really wanted 1000 Mozart’s when they’d lobby for a global basic income and actively fight poverty instead of exploiting the poorest of the poor

That’s what they actually want anyway. Drones for their business ventures.
I was wondering what happened to the drone delivery Amazon promised… It all makes sense now…

The only thing I think of is 1000 Hitlers.
