So was he.
It's kinda crazy when you think about it. So many of the world's great thinkers led a privileged life. Never had to worry about making rent, yet instead of resting on their laurels they put themselves to work trying to figure out how to make things better. Such a coincidence that those with ability also had the opportunity. Would be a shame if we had lowly serfs out there capable of such greatness, only to never receive the opportunity to realize their full potential.
It's hard to reason about and critique grand societal systems while your head is clamped in an every-tightening vice; and that's intentional.
