Social Science 10,000 Hours

[TheFreshBanana]

There's a general myth that states, it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become world-class at any skill.

So I pose the hypothetical, how would you spend those 10,000 hours? And what would you practice on?

Would you master 1 craft and become world class?

Or divide those 10,000 hours into 10 different skills where you can only achieve an adequate level.

Personally, I think I would do 5,000 hours into my profession. 3,000 in learning a language. And 2,000 hours into various party tricks like juggling, playing the piano, card tricks.

Anyhow, I would split up, 5 thousand to mainsteam music instruments, and 5 thousand to martial arts.

Reality though would probably be more like, 5 thousand in front of the computer eating cheesles, and 5 thousand in front of the xbox eating chips.

I'm at 9999 hours of fapping. Only 1 hour left until I become a master fapper.

I'd just spend it procrastinating.

I'm assuming that fapping practice lends itself to diminishing returns yeah?
The better you get the quicker the result so the more you need to practice to get better?

It might be like a bell curve.
You can never actually reach the 10000 hours.

Would be close to that long on here

Not unless you do stamina practice

So many holes in the 10000 hour theory to really make it credible. Cant believe in this day and age it is still referenced so much
