“What did genes do to deserve their sinister, juggernaut-like reputation? ... Why are genes thought to be so much more fixed and inescapable in their effects than television, nuns, or books?” (Dawkins, The Extended Phenotype)

If genes have a "sinister reputation" it is due to crimes that have been committed in their name (e.g., eugenics, murder, forced sterilization). As far as I know, no one has ever been killed or sterilized based on the effects of TV, or on the quality of their "nursery education."

Hi- you seem to be following me not because you have any real good faith intention to engage but because you want to hijack my replies to repeat the same anti-genetics arguments you’ve been peddling for decades now

I loved the "selfish gene" as a teenager, and still think it has a lot of value, but Dawkins certainly deserves some of the credit for this problem ;). Geneticists more broadly have fed into these issues.

Hi Prof. Harden! I'm a social scientist studying poverty in Canada - love everything you post about genetics/environment and would be interested on hearing your views about using a to address social inequities (pros and/or cons) in a future Twitter post some day! :)

and (to be specific), a NIT version of a basic income (NOT the universal version)

Appears to be largely 'written in the genes' for 22q11DS. Fierce trouble with math but real problem for child (and parent) is that math is an 'absolute' subject that 'must' be learnt rather than looking to child's strengths and nurturing those instead.

Dawkins"... Why are genes thought to be so much more fixed and inescapable in their effects than television, nuns, or books?” BECAUSE IN TRUTH THEY ARE MORE FIXED AND INESCAPABLE!!

Weren’t there studies that demonstrated the existence of hard thresholds (both low and high) as measured by SAT M scores? Something like SAT M < 600 (pre college) leads to virtually no success in STEM fields, while SAT M > 700 (age 12) leads to the opposite?
