every time i see someone talk about how capitalism allows for innovation im like wow imagine how much innovation there would be if everyone had access to resources
Where’s that quote about being less interested in Einstein’s brain than the fact that countless people of equal genius spent their lives in mines and factories and never learned to read
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
–Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda’s Thumb
