I saw that. I wholeheartedly agree. We can affect genetic predispositions, but not that much. I have two adopted children and they took a trajectory that mimics their birth parents.

What's extraordinary is the widespread belief (or at least pretense of belief) that genes /don't/ much affect behavior, intelligence, and personality.

As a father of four, I see this play out anecdotally. It is a rough pill to swallow at times. I realize it is a different node on the mind map of the topic, but I read this right after your tweet. It reminded me of some of

Which is why you should homeschool them. They need only 3 things. 1) Love of learning. 2) Access to tools. 3) Encouragement. My daughter is 11 & animates better than 80% of second year university animation students.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZnYmWrFT4 …

Don't forget good self-discipline. Deferral of gratification is a learned behavior. Gaming, social-media, etc. -addictions can progress youths down the dopamine-chase. If you teach achievement and other self-worth builders; then youths will have better

I always wanted to homeschool my kids (my oldest is CRAZY smart), but I didn’t think I was smart enough to teach them. Looking back, I should’ve done it. Not only because public school is an indoctrination zone, but I am smarter than all my classmates that are now teachers.

It seems like learning is more about the students than about the teachers.https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/spanish-journal-of-psychology/article/education-and-intelligence-pity-the-poor-teacher-because-student-characteristics-are-more-significant-than-teachers-or-schools/F73D9839D7E1398C33A117CB37E084E8 …

Nothing that we didn’t know already that achievement is a combo of Nature and Nurture. I know a lot of brilliant parents who have produced mediocre offspring and some vice versa.

*SPEAKINGTHETRUTH* Often a young doctor will tell you his father's the same. In sports, many athletes hand their skills down to their offspring, for example, the Manning family. The same when someone doing a twenty year sentence tells you his dad is doing a life sentence. lol

It's kind of odd to believe a mindset is in direct competition with your genetic disposition, but it is likely true. I guess the question is to what extent can I positive mindset challenge genetics that put you at an academic disadvantage

Your recent discussion of intelligence and genetics was the first example of this topic intelligently presented, that I have seen in literally years. But of course, there is a lot more to the story. There's genius, idiot savant, geek and nerd, and effects of gender.

Biological determinism answers it all so elegantly and so perfectly that it's a wonder how we were ever lead to believe in anything else.
