@GadSaad Given voting patterns + identity politics should we expect more interesting hype such as: Genomic Imprinting leading to increases in Lekking & Runaway ... accompanied by (literally) very colourful altruistic signaling? What else in Nature splits so consistently 50/50? :)

@ye_wenjie3 where have you been Wenjie? Think this would be of interest to you. -
not really. social psych guys throwing radar chaff over epigenetics. im kinda fixated on EA for the midterms.https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/30/politics/2018-midterm-election-blue-wave-realignment/index.html …

Spot on. It’s just the latest form of “post-Darwinism”, which has plagued biology since the 1870’s.

Okay I've been out of school a few years so I'm apparently going to have to research what the heck epigenetics even is.

Well one has to admit it’s better then them trying to lay it the door of morphogenetic fields.

To what degree? If you had to guess? Say I were to lift weights/jump/agility everyday for years and years how likely would the child be to be say 10% better at first with same movements? Would the work habits also translate? Would that be more dominant than say a less pfit mate?

I trust very little in science. only if its of a matter in which reality itself mediates any false theories (I.E. either the transplant works or not) because ideology and bad incentives are so pervasive. I laugh when people say "its science" as if all science is the same

The problem is partly with the terminology. "Science" is used interchangeably with the scientific method, the people who purport to practice it, and the body of academia which deals with such. A lot of verbal sleight of hand is used to defend the latter two with the former.

Are you talking about epigenetic mechanisms outside of psychology as well?

There will always be a backdoor. I miss Russell’s teacup can we just move it out past an explored body?

Well, Geoffrey, in your opinion what is fascinating about epigenetics?

Even if the epigenetic inheritance effect size is small, there are surely philosophical consequences to theories of causation
