RE: What A Cake Can Teach Us About Nurture Vs Nature

in #science8 years ago

We need to take a step back and take in a broader view.

My only real problem with using the "genetic inheritance" argument, even if it is true in a particular instance, is that for most people it becomes a crutch, a limitation and excuse when applied to them. Just because you are born with something, it doesn't mean you cannot change it.

Sort:  

It can change but not always. This one is a bit trickier when it comes to genetic diseases with heavy predisposition. I am talking more about human constructs like I.Q.

I agree, but I see no value in labeling something as genetic. You can change it or you can't, but that label destroys your chances right off the bat.

And since science is the new religion, I see no reason to hold to their paradigm, which will inevitably change again, and soon.

Indeed, but I needed to label it something in order to make the post. Language is important :)

I agree again:)
