The actual range obviously ranges too with some people that are particularly inspirational working a fair 20-30 hours, while others working 50-60. A lot of these people are still following up with new publications and thinking about physics on their free time. The main part of the job though is the sheer lack of direction you are bound to feel - especially in the face of the several open questions in physics. Still though I could have probably used someone like Terrence Tao (who used to study math 4 hours a day since at least the age of 10)

>I disagree. You can train yourself to have a certain mindset, throught meditation and awareness. Also you can remind yourself about virtues. Resolve isnt something you just have. Virtues are something you need to train.
I completely agree, but I'd argue that you still have to have a certain level of base resolve if you want to train your resolve further. If you turn into a wreck from normies, you'd probably lack the motivation to even harness these traits. It is still an important thing to remember.

...thank you

I decided to ignore that one since I started reading non-fiction before I was 5 lmao. Also plays further to what I am talking about. You'd have people like Rick Rosner that'd read newspapers at the age of three, but where has he gone to since? He wasted his adult years wondering around in a state of inferiority complex from high school to high school.
