what is the definition of talent?
« on: October 14, 2009, 08:12:43 PM »
think about it, how do you determine it?

it basically goes as far what the people want & what they catch on too.

i heard somebody say while talking about Michael Jackson "he was undoubtly one of the greatest talents in history".

but what if Michael Jackson never caught on & his hits didn't sell? he wouldn't be a "talent", he would be an average joe.

his dance moves might have been refered to as "silly looking & lame" & then what do you really have?

therefore, "talent" is no more than what the people want.

Talent can't be what people want.

Talent is what separates the gifted from us ordinary folk.

how can i be on here to much to use it, if you said i didn't have any?

clearly, logic isn't one of your talents. :D

Talent is what separates the gifted from us ordinary folk.

but that's my point. talent is judged by us ordinary folk.

if people long ago said, "Picasso has no real talent, his work is awful", we wouldn't consider him a talented person, just a bad artist.

but since somebody after he died said, "this is clearly the greatest piece of artwork ever made", he is an icon in the art world & considered "highly talented".

I can see where you're tryna go but it's more appreciation than anything. We appreciate fine art, we appreciate good music, we appreciate athleticism.

they weren't appreciated until somebody turned around & said "wow, i like that; that's really good".

but who is to say that it was actually "really good"?
