modern einstein is trying to develop new ways to keep people hooked on a social media scroll. modern mozart is producing kpop or playing jazz/fusion in some club where they make $40 a night and then dying broke (like allan holdsworth).

but it's true that most great brains probably never develop properly because the system tries its hardest to keep them stupid and in poverty.

the modern media landscape is all nepo babies and what does it get you? it gets you fuck all; everything is pathetic from top to bottom in every single artform but we're acting like shit is normal.

God, remember when actors were expected to be able to dance and sing as well as act?
