> We should radically scale genius grants

Judging by successes of Finland in education, we should radically support least achieving - not most achieving.

Author seems to be encouraging private donors, not governments. Given that, I don't see why we couldn't have both.

Is this sarcasm? Large amounts of capital (for a single person) given by wealthy individuals to select geniuses is the opposite of basic income given by government to all.
