    That does make sense, but I don’t quite agree. To continue with your gifted-computer-engineer-from-the-1800s example, they aren’t just good at computers-- they have the underlying skills (problem solving, attention to detail, able to apply abstract concepts to concrete objects, taking account of the whole system, good at maths, etc) and if they were born now, they also have an interest in computers. But if they were in the 1800s they would still have all those things (except for the interest in computers) and they’d be able to apply them to be good at other things

    I was gonna say something like this but you already said it, so imma add to yours

    Everyone is talented in some way-- you might not be able to sing, or do acrobatics, or drive a racecar, but you can do other things. Everybody can do something, yes your somethings might be different but that’s normal and perfectly fine. Things like talent and beauty are purely subjective, and even if you think you have neither of them that’s just your opinion.














  • Well, normally you would call her number, but she exchanged numbers with him, so you would call his number, except that his number is now her number and her number is now his number so you would actually call her number which was his number but is now her number because if you called her number that was her number it’d go to him. In conclusion, you would call her number.
