I can't stand the pedantic and slow delivery of this movie, but this is a well chosen clip. Sapolsky is a boss.

[DeltaNordicAdvance]

In large number the genetic factors are deterministic. IN small numbers there is room for nurture and environmental manipulation. The problem is a poor understanding of statistics by people that make the arguments. All it takes is a small , even minute genetic predisposition for something in a population group and when large samples of that group are taken the trend is glaringly obvious. Sapolsky knows this but for political reasons he's downplaying it.

[abracadaverous]

I'm glad he addressed the topic of addiction as being about more than just drugs. Having experienced drug addiction in the past myself and been close to someone with a severe eating disorder, I could identify the signs of addiction in my friend's eating disordered behavior. When I mentioned this to her, it was like a light bulb went on over her head. When she started treating her disorder as an addiction as well as an eating disorder, things began to change for the better.

Nurture dictates Nature.

@DeltaNordicAdvance Are you sure? Can you give exemples?

[MrrGrave]

@breedapart51229 What do you mean with misleading? The movie talks about a lot of things other than epigenetics...

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing The Genetics Myth Clip from Zeitgeist 3 Moving Forward

[breedapart51229]

This whole Zeitgeist thing seems very misleading. I suggest you watch Dr. Robert Sapolsky's Stanford lectures instead.

These scientists have good genes.

[fringeelements]

This guy is deliberately misleading. A study showed that if you knocked out a gene, learning drops, and the media picked it up. His response is that in a special environment, this deficit is overcome, but doesn't say how. A kid with down syndrome can be said to "overcome" his deficit learning multiplication tables by spending 4 times as long as a normal child does. Is that what he means by "overcoming the deficit"? Don't know. It's impossibly vague.
