Whoever believes in talent must also hold a secret belief in their own talent.

Equivalent to saying you are not sufficiently talented.

No one believes they are insufficient in everything, therefore you must believe you are talented in something. Both are meaningless.

I see what you mean. Do you not believe in talent or does that word simply have a poor definition?

Both. It's not a useful idea in any domain and explains next to nothing.

How is it not a useful idea? A triangle is more talented at fitting through a triangle shaped hole than a circle.

You can shave the circle to fit through the triangle hole. It seems like a remarkably useful tool. What is your definition of talent?

Same definition most people have. A (relatively) high degree of aptitude for an activity that is not a result of practice.

Oh okay. I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding this—your view is that this is not a useful idea?

Not useful as it explains nothing about how differences in aptitude are caused, but it is detrimental as it conceals true causes.
