In my mind, "ideas", "genius" and "creativity" are buzz-words for
kinds of concrete labour. So the main issue these facts highlight is
that variable capital represents that part of the material process of
production that is precisely "variable" in terms of the value it adds.
Or do you think there is a deeper issue here?

Best wishes,
