Reality is cruel too :(. While I am persuaded by the idea that nature may be as important or more so than nurture I don't agree with much of what this article says about politics, social engineering, etc. It says the 10k hour myth is cruel, but bucketing people into categories and then postulating on their potential contribution on the basis of science as dubious as the 10k hour rule is more so.
Reality is cruel too I'm afraid :(. The article is probably right about the importance of genes but I'm not sure I agree with anything else it says about politics, social engineering, etc.
