the great part about modernity is most talented people will never even have the opportunity to do something meaningful

Dad always said “most geniuses are working as janitors”
Ah so that’s why everyone was always telling me what a talented genius I am and I ended up a NEET drawing goblins on the internet
Forget not having the opportunity. How many just won't care to ever try? You can coast through a comp sci degree while trying to do TikTok and YouTube and esports and whatever else and still come out the other end without too much damage if it doesn't work out.
Why would you try? The upside of effort is, what? A slightly cushier 60 hour a week job for the same set of tin pot dictator bosses whose dream you are working toward instead of your own? There's no incentive.
