It would be quite disheartening if I was the first person to have had the idea, or articulate it in this way, though not totally unexpected. Will search scholarly articles to see what I can find. So far these types of views are only coming from ND lead research, which thankfully appear to be accelerating recently.
I refer to it in my head as "vocational privilege". I've never once heard it discussed (not just the term I made up, the idea). And frankly we're not exactly at a societal moment when many of us are eager to bring new forms of privilege into discussions, I think it'll be quite some time before we're ready to grapple with this, but it's a huge problem.
Both in terms of human suffering but also just in terms of humanity's "efficiency". There's so much more good that could be done if we were able to harness people's born talents better, rather than the square peg round hole nonsense we do with so many folks today.
