An outlier in human society means an extraordinary achiever.
One author, Malcolm Gladwell, theorized that 10,000 hours of work is the secret sauce for becoming an outlier.
My thoughts?Yes and no.
Example: I can't imagine someone with an 80 IQ having the same achievements in physics vs someone with an 150 IQ. Even if the low IQ person puts in 10,000 hours and the 150 IQ person only puts in 1000 hours.
