Interesting to know how people on this forum solve for themselves these philosophical problems.
It seems evident in sports, for example, that our talents are almost completely determined by our body. Is it the same with our mind or it is more flexible? What do you think about a theory that 10000 hours of tenacious work can give you a talent in whatever you want?
Do you believe that intelligent people have a potential to be intelligent in any field or maybe intelligence can be different: verbal, naturalistic, mathematical etc?
