Agreed, to some extent. The idea that some people are genuinely extremely talented and could be successful at anything is, in my opinion, unproven and dubious. I think that human intellectual potential is highly adaptable, but we tend to ignore/undervalue the full path that led someone to excellence in a field. Also, we tend to rely a lot on weak heuristics to evaluate one's intellect. The strongest one (but still weak) is language abilities.
The weakest and dangerous one is wealth/status. |
