Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz

A lack of talent is often ones excuse for not entering a new domain. Neuroscientist Angela Duckworth finds the agreed upon definition of talent to be a myth serving as a parable for hard work, perseverance and dedication. In the NYTimes bestseller Grit we meet with NFL quarterbacks, olympic athletes and spelling bee spellers to deduce what it takes to perform at the highest levels. While the Flynn Effect may say we’re getting smarter by the generation, it’s no reason to double down on the Netflix binge. What this refers to is the rise of literacy rates in third world countries. Angela fears children of the American digital age are less inclined than ever to pursue extracurricular activities let alone any more academic knowledge than how to Facetune.

We also celebrated episode #250 on the Patreon this week with Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged.
