Lmao what am I reading
>you can't isolate this variable
Talent is not just one variable, it can be understood as a set of inherent traits that contribute to ones skill in a given field.
>can't test for it, can't third-party verify it
You can test and verify the individual traits that contribute to ones talent. Of course we don't know which exact traits to measure, but that doesn't mean they aren't real, that's some empiricist brainrot.
But surely if you just train hard enough, you'll run just as fast as Usain Bolt, swim just as well as Michael Phelps, be just as strong as Hafthor Bjornsson, play chess just as well as Magnus Carlsen or draw just as well as Kim Jung Gi, lmao.
