Read this thread again, anime tranny and you'll understand this thread is not about savant chess players or extremely high tier sports.
If you want to talk about sports, look at Nadal, Modrić, Đoković. They didn't become masters of tennis/soccer at 15 with minimal effort, you faggot.
Just to be clear, when you talk about high tier sports, are you attacking the argument from the cognitive aspect or the physical one?.
I'm gonna assume that it's both (feel free to correct me latter if you wish).
If you have ever gymceled in your whole life you would know that this argument (the physical one) is false, if you don't have the correct body type for the task (thus talent), you will struggle for years to get any increase in mass and strength, I remember how after a whole year of gymcelling, judo and swimming some random guy I invited to my gym had the same baseline strength in his legs as mine, despite he living sedentary life (and I was very serious about my leg training)
Then there was this other friend who gained way more mass than me in a couple of months (around 8 months), than me (almost 2 years).
Then there was this other time when I raced with my dad in the pool (around 48 years old (and sedentary) at that time and me (17)), AND HE FUCKING WON!!!. and the only reason for that result is because my arms are short in relation to my whole body so my body is REALLY inefficient while moving in the water (and the distance was not long enough so that my aerobic advantage could shine)
I believe this is enough for the sports argument; in summary body type, is everything; Those sportsman you are talking about have to practice because they are competing against highly talented people, if they were competing against people with average genetics, they could win without even training or barely training.
People at Harvard study a lot. People in the top 1% in STEM study a lot. That's all I'm saying. One guy ITT claimed there's people in his college who consistently score 100% without even studying or barely studying. It's bullshit. Then he went on about the top 1% in his college. They all study just as much as that faggot I was replying to, they're just more intelligent than him and they get better scores than him despite studying around the same amount of time. That's where high IQ and talent comes into play. The vast majority of talented or high IQ people don't just achieve everything with minimal effort.
And that guy is right. If you (I'm gonna assume you are at best one standard deviation above the mean in IQ, because otherwise you would not be copping as hard as you are now) would enter at Harvard, it would be pretty clear there are some people that can get away with as he said "consistently score 100% without even studying or barely studying"
Finding truly high IQ monsters in those prestigious universities is not hard at all, those people can do what it takes you weeks to do in a couple of hours.
Let's make an example of that using Working memory:
Working memory is important stuff for learning and also just general intelligence.It’s not too hard to see why working memory could be so important. Working memory boils down to ‘how much stuff you can think about at the same time’.
Imagine a poor programmer who has suffered brain damage and has only enough working memory for 1 definition at a time. How could he write anything? To write a correct program, he needs to know simultaneously 2 things - what a variable, say, contains, and what is valid input for a program. But unfortunately, our programmer can know that the variable "foo" contains a string with the input, or he can know that the function "processInput" uses a string, but he can’t remember these 2 things simultaneously! He will deadlock forever, unsure either what to do with this "foo", or unsure what exactly "processInput" was supposed to work on.
