I bet there are a ton of Mozarts who have to work shitty jobs just to exist and will never fully develop their skills due to economic inequality. If we give everyone UBI, at least some of them would develop fully.

"You know what the greatest tragedy is in the whole world?... It's all the people who never find out what it is they really want to do or what it is they're really good at. It's all the sons who become blacksmiths because their fathers were blacksmiths. It's all the people who could be really fantastic flute players who grow old and die without ever seeing a musical instrument, so they become bad ploughmen instead. It's all the people with talents who never even find out. Maybe they are never even born in a time when its even possible to find out. It's all the people who never get to know what it is they can really be. Its all the wasted chances."

Bad ploughmen? Living in an Amish paradise?

It's from the Discworld novel Moving Pictures. If it's spoofing something, I didn't get it.

Yeah I can see this. I also think there'd be quite a few that just aren't interested in the fame, or maybe want to keep their stuff private.

I know a person who writes her own songs every so often. They're usually made as a way of dealing with something going on in her life. I had no idea about this until after like five years of knowing her she shared one. It was beautiful, she has a great voice, and she plays the guitar really well. Since the pieces are so personal it's just not something she'll share with most of the world.

Is she a Mozart? I don't know, maybe. To me at least the experience was really profound.

I love this. She’s living her best life and I respect her privacy.

Oh, I make little poems or prosaic texts (not in English, ha-ha-ha) with the same purpose and limitation. Very rarely.
