We won't settle this in the comments section of HN so I'm not even going to try.
I'm just curious how this is percieved by ordinary pepople in your home region.
I'm from Romania and generally people here see innate talent as a higher limit to performance, and practice is the way to reach it.
- skohan 5y agoI don't know if it's general consensus in the states, but this is my mental model as well.
- contravariant 5y agoInteresting, personally I view talent as being more about the effectiveness of practice than a specific higher limit. Though if the effectiveness of practice is low then that obviously places some practical limits on the maximum amount of 'mastery'.
