That's not all it is. Some people are just better than others. No matter how hard every tries to be the best football or basketball player, only an extremely small set of people even have the chance to make it. There are physical traits they'll never have and mental fortitude to use those traits. You can't grow yourself to 7 ft tall and you never will be able to. What makes you think the brain is any different.

If you take the perspective that some people are "just better" than others, why are we idolizing these people?

Being born with high intelligence and favourable traits is not an achievement.

Good question. Take it up with the people wearing jersey's with Lebron James' and Aaron Rodgers' names on them.

lol, yeah. I don't idolize them. I'm just aware of my limitations.
