Generally people with extreme gifts or talents (and specifically the 2 examples you mentioned) find passion in their skillsets so the argument that they should do that anyways is somewhat unnecessary. And the ones who don't most likely have legitimate mental issues that would prohibit them from contributing at a consistent level. Of course there are deviations, but physchological studies have more than adequately shown the large deviation of mental stability in truly gifted individuals.
My argument is made for "normal" people.
And I don't think your opinion falls in the realm of socialism, fyi.
- maj0rhn 12y ago> physchological studies have more than adequately shown > the large deviation of mental stability in truly gifted > individuals This is a common misconception. If, for example, one looks at physicians as a group (the occupational class with the highest so-called IQ), they are in general more stable and mentally healthier than the rest of the population. If one ventures into the realm of savants, then those people are, by definition, not normal, so anything goes. But they are small in number.
