Yo-Yo, this is Stefan Molyne, just following up in my last show about the only fan's question

that came in from a listener, which is to say, you should not have, you should not take any

pride in that which is genetic. And there's a couple of extra points that I wanted to mention

about this that I think are interesting.

And I knew I wasn't quite done, but I couldn't get the arguments.

I actually dreamt about them last night, believe it or not.

So I wanted to just follow up with a couple of points on that.

If the Bob, Bob was his name, the game we gave him, it's not his real name.

I don't know what its real name is, but Bob was saying that you should not be proud of that which is

genetic and what's interesting of course is if we say that you know late teens IQ

is 80% genetic that still gives you 20% to work with. 20% is a lot. And it's not, I mean,

with regards to IQ, it doesn't translate into, you can go 20 points higher or you can go 20 points

lower from an average of 100. It's not that, but it's 5 to 10 points. It gives you five to 10 points either way.

And the interesting thing is that the part of your brain that is subject to environment,

the subject to choice, is interesting. Let's say, rather than a sort of 360 degree view of free will,

let's say that you only have a two choices, right?

You only have two choices.

Now, you're stuck in a corridor,

your friend is being attacked at one end of the corridor,

and there's relative safety at the other end of the corridor.

Well, you only have two choices.

You can run towards your friend and give him help or you can run towards safety and abandon your friend to his danger.
