Hey, thanks for reading.

"but not your ultimate thesis that's its all genetics": it's not all genetics, but the charactasteristics that are valued in our society are genetically determined.

"a multimillion dollar business and one of the other siblings ended up on meth and in prison": many things could explain this, from mutational load, to trauma, to simple reversed mimesis.

"I happen to agree with Robert Sapolsky and his thesis that there is no free will, but that doesn't mean we don't have choices.": it's one or the other; we either have choices, or we don't.

"I we do need to create better programs to address people falling through the cracks,": to do that, we should start having a real discussion about the roots of socio-economic inequalities, which is what this article was written for.

"To that point you make here, I 100% agree with you." I think most people will agree with me, but most people also won't agree to accept that genetics play a role in it. But there won't be any social progress until we take that into account.
