  1. My brother in law was adopted into a family and he didn't take on the attributes of his adoptive parents or siblings. He was the odd one out in pretty much every way. My aunties were adopted into our family at a very young age (by my grandparents). They are indentical twins who grew up together but then lived appart for the subsequent 60 years, yet they are more similar to each other even now than they are to the rest of us.

  2. I want to know why the subject is taboo. We're a product of our genetics in the sense that our physical attributes are genetic... body type, skin color, hair color, eye color, suseptibility to specific diseases... why exclude IQ? Are all brains identical? Pretty clear to me that it's for ideological reasons and not for scientific reasons. It's again the idea that some facts might be racist, so stear clear.

  3. I have great respect for Rowling for standing firm against the bullies. Too many are going woke.

  4. Steve Shives lol. He would likely consider Sam far right and want to cancel him.

  5. Having read your comment, I'm not sure what you're saying... do you believe genetics plays a significant role in IQ? I do.
