I'm not one to try to earn a living playing video games... but there are people making quite a bit of money doing it. So again, you aren't really referring to anything factual:https://www.esportsearnings.com/games
Over $100 million for DoTa 2; 41 million for Leage of Legends; 35 million for Counter-Strike; 23 million for StarCraft II.

Every human starts off a turd. A slimy, screaming, helpless little mammal. Then we go to school and learn stuff. Which means... turds are getting polished.

No, each baby is a bundle of genetic potential. Each one is born with the potential to be good at certain things (and not so good at other things).

That is, if they are encouraged to find out what those talents are rather than being bamboozled with dippy slogans like "you can be anything you want to be, if you just set your mind to it."

If your argument is that each person is born predestined to only excel at certain things, then that is the exact opposite of potential. Anyone can achieve anything through hard work.

Oh, come on! Surely you don't believe that! Anyone can become a
billionaire if only they try hard enough? So why aren't there more
billionaires out there? Why aren't YOU a billionaire? And don't tell me
that you simply haven't tried hard enough!

Genetic predisposition isn't one tool in the toolbox. It's the tool box itself. Hell, its the whole effing workshop! 😄
