How can we differentiate good and bad talents

Post Reply New Topic

The first discriminant would be a willingness to achieve something tangible.

The second discriminant would be a willingness to read, understand and write. Sigh.

The third discriminant would be a willingness to think.

Beyind this, there are more requirements.

The fourth discriminant would be an ability to differentiate what is right or wrong.

The fifth discriminant would be to be unique enough to benefit the world.

Not fulfilling these requirements will result in people not being able to do the best they can be.

What do you think of the determinants of people?

If by right and wrong you mean morally right and morally wrong, that is often a matter of opinion, not fact. Arithmetic right and wrong are a matter of fact and convention. Moral right and wrong for the most part is just convention.

I see talent as mere talent (ability and skill), so what might be an example of a bad talent? Or are you asking about good-or-bad, right-or-wrong use of talent?

Oh thanks, I am asking about right-or-wrong use of talent.

And right vs wrong means some ability to decide whether things will fit to the talents' own specifications...

That is something that only you can really know, assuming that you are self-aware, which you seem to be. The desire to be a better person is the key to using talents for good.

I'd imagine that talents are nothing more than neural aptitudes and strengths, things you naturally excel at. That said, almost any skill whether athletic, reative, or even manipulative could be put to either good or bad use, or utterly sat on and wasted, depending on the person possessing that respective talent.
