I wouldn't agree with that argument, though. What does 'true' in that sense even mean? Do we as a society want to weed out the easily distractible or do we want to ensure that more people are able to flourish?

Is a potential 21st century Einstein somehow "less valuable" because his surroundings ensured he could live up to his potential?

Feynman loved to go to strip clubs, so it is totally possible to be a genius and a perv.

Time management is key.

True Franklins wouldn’t be so much distracted as fueled by it.

You can easily rebut that…no, they would, if you make a library with 90% porn in it they would have a harder time doing research in that library than a normal one.
