Re: It doesn't mean no one in this Age can be at Talented or Intelligent. Shannow Send a noteboard - 10/11/2012 07:34:34 AM
It simply means those people are more rare. Just look at Logain, Taim, Nynaeve, Alivia and Sharina ... These people are all modern Age and as gifted as any of the Forsaken. They all seem to be as intellectually gifted as well, the entire main cast are all a match for any of the Forsaken and I'm fairly certain in real life someone like Charlemagne or Queen Elizabeth or a dozen other major world leaders are an IQ match for any world leader of today.

Sure there are more people of genius IQ or extreme OP strength in a dramatically large population, but that doesn't mean those people cannot exist in a smaller population.


That's just the author's bias. In reality, a 20 year old Egwene should be nowhere close to politically savvy enough to mix it up with a 300 year old Mesaana.

That's just silly.

You and DomA would call it the Pattern spinning out remarkable individuals when it needs them. I call it a poor writing technique, no better than Eddings's Prophecy that makes Garion invincible despite all odds.
