The idea that some people are just better than others, is simply just true. I mean for crying out loud, it's the whole basis of evolution for one, and for two, Just to look at professional athletes, astronauts, singers, artists, etc, etc etc etc. <br>People seem to have such a phobia of the concept of superiority, I'm guessing because they associate it with things like Nazism and Aryans, and whatnot. But the fact that there are some people who were just better than others, not even just at certain things. But at most things, is just the way it is. And genetics doesn't seal the deal, but it sure as hell deals the player a good hand to start with. Genetics, environment, nurturing, and choices. These four things are generally what determine our outcome.<br><br>And it's sad that these types of truths can't be discussed casually and openly due to the stigma, because the only way to circumvent problems or find solutions, are to first understand them. And will never understand something we can't openly debate about.,(reply>), Well said. Effort and dedication is necessary to develop talent but the desire to do so is often inspired by a person’s pre-existing aptitude.
