Stephen Jay Gould.

Imagine what a utopia we could be living in if all those talented people had been able to use their talents instead of struggling to survive, or being trapped in wage slavery or actual slavery. We'd probably have free, clean energy and have terraformed Mars for human habitation by now.

Think about how capitalism, the rat race and constant struggle for survival have held us back as a species.
