I feel like this misses a step, ie culture. He/she obviously wouldn't be a Mozart. And Mozart wouldn't have existed without 200 years of prior, localised musical development.
“Today a Mozart in Nigeria follows the plow.” Deirdre McCloskey argues that Africa’s stunted economies are concealing forever our would-be greatest thinkers. It’s hard to fully comprehend that losspic.twitter.com/FkjO8viAAI

Richer locales have access to (and absorb, to greater or lesser degrees) global culture. It’s not absurd at all, for example, to consider an Australian artist building very successfully upon a French tradition.

Now finally comes someone NOT in order to say "Now look, it's all your fault, you're guilty, give them all your money, also we will tax you down and out". NO! Give them the freedom to look after themselves, to build their own wealth! I fully agree. Thanks!

I keep reading stuff about how agriculture will become a past time or some kind of leisure activity. Grew up on a working farm. Do people know how hard that life is even with tech assisting? Unless somehow Folks are equating having a garden as having a farm.

Let me try to defend an assertion I don't believe: Particularly if tech continues to improve, if we go back to 90% (or 50%) of people doing agriculture, perhaps it's as productive as 3% doing it as we do now. (Many hands make light work.)

To turn this on it's head, in the developed world, eventually agriculture will be seen as an enabler for creative pursuits. Free time after farming will enable a creative society to flourish.

The thesis behind this line of thought lies at the heart of liberalism. Too few people really feel and live its truth. That being said, new research in epigenetics may provide scientific fodder for a canon of Lamarckian evolution which cuts this idea down at its core. :-/
