What future lol. That has been the case for thousands of years. Science, art, philosophy, writing and so on was the thing rich people did for thousands of years. Some peasant's kid had to work in the fields as soon as he could while the rich people's kid could get education. This is not something new. The last few hundred years or so is where this wasn't the case as public education became a thing and people's standards of living rose enough that kids were not just another pair of hands to help on the farm or around the house.
