And again, that's adaptive.
But if I was trying to be the best driver in the world, that's maybe actually something I have to work against because, you know, the way that I started driving, the little sort of
processes that I'm using for driving are maybe not optimal so an example I think maybe makes more sense is typing on a keyboard so some people learn the touch typing method where you have your hands on the home row and you type that way and it is faster other people they do the hunt and peck now if you hunt and peck and you keep hunting and pecking you are going to get faster and it's going to become more automatic to hunt and peck but you're never going to type as fast as someone who learns to touch type properly
So in this way, the kind of continuing to hunt and pack doesn't actually make you this really great typist.
It just makes it so that, you know, you've searching for the keys and typing one at a time becomes easier for you.
Well, I mean, that's why piano teachers often say that they'd rather have someone who has no experience than that has the wrong experience, because you have to spend time kind of unlearning those bad habits.
Well, I mean, no doubt that talent or this kind of residual concept of like that isn't explainable in terms of practice or motivation or whatever explains some of the difference in performance.
Like there's no doubt about that.
And I think when you look at a really elite level, so we're talking about the LeBron James, the Tiger Woods is the Usain Bolt of the world.
It's going to be a huge factor because at that level, pretty much everyone is practicing as hard as they can, you know.
I mean, I'm sure there's a few lazy basketball players and a few lazy golfers.
But if you're in the PGA, you're really trying hard to be the best golfer in the world.
You know, you're not just like guys going out on the weekend being like, yeah, I'll put in nine holes or whatever.
And I think...
So I think this idea of talent, I think it does become more important at that real extreme level just because pretty much everyone at that level has a great coach.
They have top-of-the-line advice and feedback.
They're practicing nonstop.
They're professional.
Whereas I think for everyday people who are trying to get a bit better at everything, there is a lot more room for practice just because of what we talked about that I'm not going to be a better driver just because I'm not putting in that deliberate effort.
But if I knew how to put in that deliberate effort, yeah, I could probably become a better driver.
