Good Genes

Almost everything has been said, and said better than others.  I will note for the context of our long-standing discussions here that mentioning genes at all is the third rail, as it imperils the worldview and the vested interests of many people who believe that environmental influences, and legislating according to environmentalist presuppositions should be where we spend our money. 

One piece of evidence for this is reflexively raising the specter of eugenics in order to shut down any discussion for social and political reasons. The science has gotten away from them, the culture is getting away from them, and they have to blame Trump as part of the two-minute hate every day.

I'm reconsidering my stance on AI. Perhaps it would be useful in generating my speaking truth to power and generating the daily two-minute hate for me.
