I have no real opinion on the project in question but devotion is not a fungible, generically applicable resource you decide to apply to one issue or another. Run a test for whatever "IQ/g-factor/ability" handwave you're referencing on someone that loves their work and someone that doesn't.
- caeril 6y agoI think the research is pretty clear on the matter that "passion" is largely derivative of competence and the values of the environment. A society that chooses to elevate meaningful accomplishment and value training people to pursue it is likely to be markedly different than the instant gratification culture we are currently swimming in. edit: Whoops, factually wrong again, apparently! Perhaps this den of rationality that purports to follow the science and research will cite literature contrary to the overwhelming evidence that human interest derives from competence and acquired values. Maybe it's actually from unicorn farts and kitten snuggles?
- not_knuth 6y agoI can not help but detect a condescending tone in your comments (if such is not the case, my apologies – Poe's Law and all) and find it interesting that you have not provided sources to the "research" which your claims are based on. I think it would benefit everybody if you could share a couple of links to some "research".
