While what you say is true to a degree the part youâre leaving out is that the kids who donât have actor/musician/doctor/etc parents are still perfectly capable of learning these things.
Theyâre arguably better to bring into the various fields to challenge entrenched perspectives that get perpetuated by systems of momentum that you describe. In acting itâs what creates what led to metoo, in medicine itâs what creates wildly unfair work expectations and elitism, mainly because the old guard did it that way, and if you question the entrenched power âitâs because thatâs the way we do thingsâ. New blood is arguably more likely to push back against this because they arenât as conditioned to play into the system from birth.
The other part that you leave out, as a result, is that these nepo kids then get an unfair advantage. Take kid A - a nepobaby like Kate winslets son, and kid B, just some kid who was obsessed with acting and writing. Letâs say your perspective is true and the nepobaby kid is obsessed with acting and writing in a wild environment of access to intense creative minds. But kid b is no slouch either, living and breathing acting and writing, constantly accessing whatever mentors they can, watching content online giving advice on process, and most importantly just constantly writing (or playing, acting, whatever) for years and years and years.
Theyâre both immensely talented individuals at this point. But whatâs the difference? Kid A has connections capital to make films and eventually to production deals if they are any good. Kid B, at best, can scrape together a few grand to make a student film because theyâre not affluent and their circle of peers is also broke. Even if they scrape together something noteworthy they have no connections whatsoever to industry.
In more extreme examples itâs a mediocre singer getting connected to hitmaker producers and media promotion while there are 10,000 excellent artists on Spotify with under 1,000 streams because they donât have the capital to professionally record and promote their shit
