Strong belief, strongly & long held: geniuses from the Renaissance to the early XXth century came predominantly from the aristocratic class because they had access to both tutoring and the means to focus on hard problems. I just found this article which articulates the argument convincingly https://tinyurl.com/ys9wryjh

Of course! There’s a need to have free time and fuck you money to explore the edge of the universe. The mere mortals have to pay college 🤣

It’s a major source of frustration in my life. There are so many pursuits of the mind I’d want to dedicate meaningful time to, if only I didn’t need to grind in that corporate rat race just to keep up with the hedonistic treadmill and lifestyle inflation.

my free 2cts experience: there’s a point where it all makes sense — that’s when I realized the (subconscious?) thread between everything I was doing; it all clicked and that was that. Before the single thread, there was confusion, exactly as your describing it. Maybe go one/two layers up and see what’s up? :)
