if you run for 10,000 hours you will be a really really good runner. that's literally all he's saying. mastery =/= being the best in the world. i would call you retarded for missing the point of a pleb tier pop authour, but I know this is a thinly veiled /pol/ thread (which means you get called retarded enough already); leave and saged

If you are not genetically predetermined to be good at music, running, writing or anything you can practice 100000 hours and you won't be as good as the genetically gifted with only 100 hours of practice. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just coping.

Have you ever read or listened to him? He never actually says this... In fact he said "i can practice music for 20000 hours, or even 100 000 hours, and i will NEVER be as good as Mozart" so pretty much the opposite

He tows the popular line on race at times but at least he tries to stick to facts... Most of the time

None of this even matters now that designer babies are a thing and we can theoretically induce change in the living, regardless of race, with CRISPR. Why does either side of the debate continue to argue when we've reached a point where superiority in any area can be bruteforced following the willingness of a government to greenlight some clincal trials?

They say CRISPR makes unintended edits but one journal retracted their paper on it, saying they tried again using a control and another mouse line, and that seemed to convince them of the real precision.
