Episode notes
In this chapter, they discuss the misconception of innate ability and the importance of acquired skills. They explore why there is a prevalent veneration of innate ability despite evidence suggesting otherwise. They suggest that one reason for this is parents living vicariously through their children and imposing unrealized dreams on them. Another reason is the awe-inspiring nature of natural talent, making it difficult for individuals to see themselves in those with innate abilities.
