The output of historic geniuses is just insane. The sheer amount of work and discovery and creation they did seems too much for one lifetime. I just don’t understand how they managed all they did.

Labor was cheap.

It’s only the 20th century where people in the middle to upper class were no longer expected to have one or more permanent members of staff in their households. If you could maintain the same income as you do currently, but offload the laundry, the cooking, the weekly shopping, the childcare, and the home maintenance off to someone else… How much free time would you have?
