Not talent? Some people violently deny that people have any difference in potential. I can't even formulate a reply, how do you argue with someone who claims the sky is orange and never blue?
Talent is roughly the ability to learn and apply that learning. So you want people to have 'constant learning', but ignore that they first have to be capable of learning that material at all.
