I like your answer because there is something strange about generalizing a group of people who have dug deep enough down that rabbit hole. Are there signs of a newbie "person A" to a field that they would have more potential to always take on a problem in a better way than "person b". What if einsteins work never involved mathematics and he wrote mysteries about a detective and from his books we could tell this person understands taking on problems and how to learn from failing etc,etc..
- unabst 10y agoThere are more ways of looking at what appears to be obscene amounts of talent... some suggest the media also has a hand, since they create the celebrities (monsters). Einstein was definitely celebrated. But it's odd how popular perception can end up so far fetched. There still exists this notion that knowing everything and memorizing everything and being able to compute like a computer are all super powers. If only. Except, we've been able to write things down forever, the internet is in our pockets now, and we have supercomputers crunching obscene amounts of data. As it turns out, none of these are "super" powers. Their capacity is easily enhanced with simple tools, which we don't even bother to take out most of the time. You'd get definitely get better grades if your biological capacity were higher, since using tools during exams is cheating. But we're starting to think it's silly basing tests on these things.
