--I agree with edu in a way I can't explain, what I think is bullshit is measuring it, there is literally no way you can say someone has talent unles you follow literally everything the individual does from the day he was born and you can read his ming to know what he's thinking at all times
10 Apr 01:47
--i mean, just like some people is born with different physical features, intelligence and the way your brain works varies greatly between each individual
10 Apr 01:45
--well you may disagree with me, but i dont think everyone has the same potential
10 Apr 01:44
--i think most people have the same potential, but in whole range of different activities
10 Apr 01:40
--I just think that, no one is ever going to reach his own max, so it doesn't matter if someone's max is a little higher

--IQ is abstract, you can observe the world around you and get better information rather
10 Apr 01:32
--I still have no real reason to believe IQ is a real thing, the best don't care about it, and those called mathmagicians practiced math a lot from a very young age

--Are we talking physical tasks? then yes, if not 99% of it is how you grow up, your approach to the problem and what you focus on
10 Apr 01:29
--some people are just better at preforming certain tasks, and will outpreform others with the same amount of training
10 Apr 01:29
--That said, I know there are hardworking people who know what they are talking about and believe in talent, but think that most of it is still hard work
10 Apr 01:27
--I need to have a conversation with someone that truly believes in talent and genius, and ask them ''Do you think mozart played like that from the day he was born?'' Because the obvious answer is ''No'' and then keep the conversation going till they realise that Mozart played all day for a ton of time until he got his first good piece
10 Apr 01:27
--people use the word "talent" in the same way they say "magic" or "god" its a term to define something they cant really define or explain
10 Apr 01:26
--It's like what Ash Thorp has metioned a couple times with the painting with fire docuemntary, they are like 30 minutes about his childhood, then ''Frazetta did his first comic stip, then he drew comics for 10 years and started doing illustration'' it's like whaaaat, you just skipped 10 years of training like nothing+

--but rocky is all about hard work and determination, while amadeus was about "talent"
10 Apr 01:24
--I hate when in movies they remove the hard work from the ecuation. It's like, at least put it in a montage dammit, Rocky did it, and Rocky is awesome
