I love your reflection. It's pretty much what makes Michael Phelps the best swimmer ever (or something like that). He has double-jointed ankles and elbows and other physiological advantages. Of course, it takes discipline, and I admire that. But, as you mention, there are also socioeconomic factors, not to talent per se, but to the ability to develop it. I think some people do have a certain sparkle that can't be explained, but it all depends on what we do with it. We would also need to discuss the disadvantages that come with certain kinds of "giftedness." It's considered part of neurodivergence now, and, trust me, neurodivergence is not always fun.
