That's what they actually want anyway. Drones for their business ventures.

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.

It's an educational shitpost for people who think Luke Combs is the height of musical talent.

I think this is the creme de la creme of shitposts.

Most of the super famous classical composers were born with in 90 years of each other. On one hand thay were brilliant musicians, on the other hand It was also this thing that was happening right then.

I'm fairly certain if the circumstances were different we still have a bunch of people doing the same work.

Mozart wasn't wealthy, his customers (patrons) were. His father trained him in the family trade from birth and put him to work at a young age.

He had a lot in common with Michael Jackson in that way, but Michael got insanely rich and Mozart didn't.

There’s probably quite a few that are really only known to their immediate friends, families, and communities.

There are a lot of really talented people out there, who will remain mostly anonymous. It’s probably nicer for most to not be in the limelight, though it sucks for the rest of us who will never know.

We can add Frank Zappa to the list.

He popped to my mind very quickly as well. Let's go down the list:

• Significant talent, dedication and skill

Would say, though I'd say he especially shines in composition and getting the right people to shine.

• Write music across a bunch of different contemporary genres

Basing yourself on prog metal is kind of cheating in that respect xD

Seriously though, the genres within albums, or sometimes single songs, of his can be a bit of a rollercoaster. If another reader is still drawing a blank, The Day That The World Breaks Down

• Draws from the work of others

Isn't that basically the standard for most musicians? And also, in the aforementioned track's clip, he specifically refers to a few inspirations. And moments when he let his collaborators do their thing and shine. "Hey Mike, here are your lyrics: 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01010100 01001000 00110001, go nuts!"

• Shitposting and odd outfits

Have you been at Live Beneath The Waves? His girlfriend got an applause, his brother was heckled & booed, and his keyboard guy was called a LUL by the entire audience. All at his request.

Arjen checks the boxes pretty well.

Really, the only way he doesn't fit is that he doesn't have the massive ego Mozart had. That, and I guess he's not quite as dirty. Mozart once wrote of piece of music called "Lick My Ass."
