WHO?
That's because Conor has a basic competitive will and understanding that you don't have, even if you could, you don't. And IdrA and f0rest have hand-eye coordination that you never could. Such is the case for basically every activity; attributes determine your proficiency at them.
A touché, that was good. I don't know who the heck those people are that you mentioned but I get the gist from context that Conor is some type of professional athlete?
And in most activities I would agree, you are right., I didn't think about this before but your argument totally makes sense. However, I noticed the examples you had are two very common "human measured activities" regarding skill. Athletics and video games. . But there are things that someone can be good at that's not so easily measured.
For example: Sometimes someone has a knack of cheering people up. Lots of people tend to feel awkward or uncomfortable around someone crying, but then there's that guy, the slow and uncoordinated one, the guy that's a total klutz. He'll know what to do, he reads people so well and has a skill in always saying the right thing. He is a people person, socially advanced, but he has butter fingers and can't do much more than repeatedly walk into walls & shoot his own teammate when attempting to play Hallo.
This guy could apply his skills in socialization to become a salesman or guidance counselor. I'm sure there are other examples of skills one can have that are more based on intuition and empathy rather than hand eye coordination, and practice.. -

There are some things that are hard or impossible to quantify, of course. Even just in sports, between these phenomenally athletic pros, there are differences in just their "game", nobody can really quantify exactly what it is but it's "there".
For example Lionel Messi is the best footballer (soccer player) in the world, and one of the greatest players to ever touch the game. Cristiano Ronaldo is the second best player in the world, and also one of the greatest to ever touch the game, and would be considered an era-defining once-in-a-generation talent if Messi wasn't even better. Messi is athletically worse than CR7. But he is still better. He has an "it" factor that makes him absolutely unstoppable. You can't quantify it.
However, whatever that attribute is, it exists, no matter how hard it is to quantify it. And sometimes... people just suck at everything. They might have no charisma, low confidence, no discipline, terrible self-assessment skills etc.
Now I would agree MOST people have enough "going on" to be decent at something, and you just have to find it though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Obviously I could have googled them & found out all about their lives and what they've accomplished. But, the fact that I had never heard of them before this thread is the reason why I felt saying " Who?" was appropriate. Sure, I can google something real quick & come back in a few seconds with a post reply that it is full of stuff " I swear I knew before." I thought it was more appropriate for me to relay to you that these people, who you seem to see as having such great abilities & admirable qualities, I had never heard of before. -

Okay but there is no reason to say "who?" and more like "I don't know who these people are, but googling them and reading the wikipedia blurb, I see your point". -

I didn't feel the need to because from the context of your post I correctly presumed that the Connor guy was an athlete and the 2 others were some dorks that are really good at video games. I don't need to know specifics because your main idea was easily comprehended. -

Ok but what is the point of "who?" then. You can just omit that. It's worthless text and it brings me closer to didn'treading your post. -

At least " WHO? " is shorter than when people post "didn't read" Both are pointless. But, if you're gonna nag me for using a 3 letter word twice as "worthless text" that can just be omitted, then please, apply this logic fairly throughout all of your replies & think for a moment before pushing that submit button. Realize that if you respond with something like "Didn't read" you are being hypocritical. You have the cojones to tell me what I should have omitted in a post and what qualifies as "worthless text" but then you go and post the one thing that adds nothing at all to the substance of a thread. "Didn't Read" we
You just want to share with everyone that you didn't read someone's post. I totally get that. I just wanted to share that I had no idea who those jabronies were that you mentioned with such admiration.

A year later after a really bad lethargic period, and severe passive suicidal thoughts, I was inspired to read Malice's story on r/psychonaut (https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychonaut/comments/3u9gak/lsd_for_introspection_on_severe_depression_and/?utm_content=comments&utm_medium=user&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=frontpage) and it hit home for me, mainly because we've both been at least generally socially isolated for over a decade. Even though he was far more isolated, I started feeling that there was a possibility my life could be more pathetic, mainly in the long-term, for specific reasons - one of which, he seemed to have a far higher IQ. I really started basing my self esteem on intelligence. Because I found Malice's story interesting, I started going through his posts on Reddit. I ended up finding his Zoklet username, and out of curiosity, I googled it and found his posts on here. I was motivated to create an account because I had some questions for him and other similar members. I saw some posts from Malice on IQ/psychometrics, which prompted me to ask him a question on the subject, which he didn't respond to. That prompted me to ask him on Reddit. He took a fairly long time to respond, which prompted me to ask subreddits I thought would be able to provide a similar perspective.
Why do you ask?
