Anomaly-based talent often implies that there persons sacrificed their lives, often their health, their family, to get an edge. A lot of high-achievers are suicidal, like Churchill, who only succeeded at plane dogfights because he’s the only outlier that didn’t die performing those crazy stunts. A lot of those who try and don’t succeed are very suicidal. I’m all for meritocracy, but we should strive so that most people can succeed in parallel to a good family life. So that the children are balanced and loved, and we have a second generation who’s even better.
