The Myth of the Superhuman
They believe, it seems, that “successful people” like Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Paul Graham, Walt Disney, etc. have some sort of in-built superhuman awesomeness that makes them smarter, cleverer, more brilliant than the rest of us.
They believe that something about these people is unique, that their feats would beunachievable by anyone else.
To be fair, it sort of makes sense, right? I mean, these folks succeeded spectacularlywhere thousands of others failed forgettably. So, the successful people must be more brilliant than average folk like you and me, no?
