Geniuses of the past were aristocratically tutored
It seems obvious that mass produced education wouldn't produce geniuses.
A mediocre education for everyone will never make potential geniuses fall in love with education.This generation's geniuses don't end up contributing to science and end up optimising advertisement click rate or finding the best way for banks and government to scam normies.On the plus side, they're probably doing better than they would have in the past.
