Ask HN: I want to be an expert in many things but my lifetime won't be enough

Is your lifetime not enough or could the resources to become an expert be better?

Looking at sports, it becomes obvious how much can be achieved with the right training. Unfortunately, right now, only the most promising talent in a field receives the best training. If we can automate that, it would be much easier to become an expert in many fields.

So, if you don't want to decide, you could also improve the infrastructure for becoming an expert.

Could you elaborate? I wasn't aware of this.

In general, times get better. Where does that come from if humans don't mutate that fast? It's also visible in gymnastics and similar sports where routines become more advanced.

There are other factors, like a bigger global population and drugs. But that's secondary for sports where participants show off complex movements.
