for mental long-distance endurance
I do not this this is what he means by ‘determination’
Hmm, possibly. I think that at worst it’s closely related to other possible qualities he’s describing.
I suspect in startup context what he meant is closer to “stubbornness in the face of failure”, ability to mentally deal with obstacles.
Um, that’s pretty much what I read the Coolidge quote as talking about.
Sorry, I interpreted your “for mental long-distance endurance” meaning traversing long inferential distances.
I think that would be more to do with raw intelligence :-)
