That isnt quite a response to what he was saying I realize But I think "abnormally" bad is pretty contextual given the left skew of human ability Basically everyone reading this is likely to be eg +1 SD or more on most axes and in many ways "bad" for us is like "human median"

Another expression of the Just World Fallacy. "You're good at A so you must be bad at B, because the scales have to balance!"

It's a selection effect. My friends are smart xor charismatic not because those are mutually exclusive, but because the people who are both smart and charismatic don't hang out with people like me.

this seems roughly correct conceptually but I bet you're selling yourselves short there's a kind of I think we (subjective we, ingroup) are all weird in an illegible way like charisma is not fungible

My take: learning is a skill in itself, and people very good at one thing are capable of being extremely good at many things (time permitting). This is masked by bad time management / hyperfocus, but if they actually try to improve that they can attain that godlike aura

Meant to say that there's high correlation between being very good at one thing and being good at learning, but forgot.
