Writing a book takes a long time and will take even longer or never get finished at all if you also need to work at McDonald's to make rent and keep the electricity on.

Plenty of people have produced great works of art while working day jobs. It’s hardly a new concept.

When it comes to populations it's about statistics, not about what is possible at all. If we want many great works, we need to make it possible for more people to succeed with that not make it harder. Same fallacy as saying that discrimination or poverty don't impact success, since some people have pulled it off despite those.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The greatest books were written by people having other occupations and full time jobs aside.
