    We very literally already have 1000 Motzarts and 1000 Einsteins. They are poor and working in your wearhouses and have no means or free time to pursue the fields they would accel in.

    Pay your taxes Jeff.

      They literally could not give a fuck if there’s a Mozart out there.

      This is the same shit that happened with Nazis. They decided that classical art is the only “real” art and anything that was modern at the time was “degenerate art”.

      They want people that worship the traditional art that fuels nationalism, like Greek statues that are bleached white. They like the idea of classical art, that a perfect homogeneous society existed before them that they can re-achieve.

      They hate all varieties of modern art because it’s either hard to understand, or it might even conflict with their nationalism.

      They want to dip their toes into what they think art should be, not embrace what it is.
