The system is built in such a way that's making it difficult to even want to be a genius.
Take the technology sector, for example: innovation isn't rewarded as much as a good marketing. And any innovation hides behind a paywall. So you're forced to build something that can sell, not something that is necessarily useful. And people always make the cheaper and more comfortable choice - leaving better choices (for us, for the environment) mostly ignored. In this sector, the open source community is always the outlier - even though what they are building is built for everyone. Because convenience is what people are looking for.
Most artists are creating art/music that sells, not inspires. Same with films. Series. Books.
Scientists can only dive so deep into academia before they realise that a corporation would pay them four times as much for their knowledge.
