That's a lot of assumptions for someone supposedly not wanting to hand out psychological diagnoses based on a single comment on a online forum. I can online imagine the theses that would come out if you _were_ trying!
You can ad hominem all you want, but my central point remains: everyone has the same allotment of time. If you are spending it on something, that necessarily means you are not spending it on other things. That's just a fact and doesn't have moral judgements attached.
- kridsdale3 1y agoWe do all have the same amount of time. But where there's inequality is in the productive (business and social/family) integral during that time. Most people are likely at best using 25% of their 24h towards something high value. Say, 4 of their 8-9 working hours, and 1 in the morning and 3 after work are "good family time". The rest, their body and mind are in a low power state for efficiency or recovery. Where the super-performers likely have an advantage is in a biological superiority that results in them needing less recovery time (perhaps life damages them on a cellular level less) and they have more energy-efficient or high-throughput caloric systems to be able to do more hours of high-impact work in the day. We are learning more and more about mitochondrial differences between people. If you could do 8 hours of high-focus work every day, be super in-tune with people for 4 hours afterwards, and only need 4 hours of sleep to be completely recovered, you'd acheive a lot more over a year, or 10 years, than your peers. This is completely un-controversial when talking about something like Pro Basketball: it's self-evident. But people don't want to acknowledge it may be a factor in programming or business leadership.
