I'm doing a report on the worship of talent. Any opinions would be welcomed.

Do you think the worshiping of talent is contemptible? Do you think any society who worships talent excessively, or condones the worship of talent, will have any future? If not, do you think the worshiping of talent should be considered a crime and punished as such?

If you do worship talent, or support the worshiping of talent, can you tell me why?

Not to be Biblical, but isn't the worshiping of talent the same as worshiping false-idols? Not that by doing it, you'll go to hell in the after-life, but will you go to hell in this life?

Is it justifiable to punish those without talent? Would you consider it punishment, that by worshiping those with talent, you neglect those without it?

Is the persecution of those you consider untalented (but are really not), a harmful byproduct of talent-worship, and/or a cause of or for condemning talent-worship?

Is there anything you'd like to say about talent-worship, that I have not asked or addressed?
