Identical twins separated at birth are the errant thread that unravels the whole sweater. When they invariably discover each other they have the same dog, same car, similar looking husband, and basically the same vocation. This makes people very uncomfortable because it sounds like eugenics and that’s Nazi shit. Don’t worry kids. You can concede that we are 80% determined from birth without giving up free will and accusing everyone down on their luck of being born that way.

0:00.0 | Every argument comes down to nature versus nurture. |
0:04.0 | Everything comes down to that, really, when we're talking about humans, or as the experts call it sociobiology. |
0:12.0 | I saw this movie the other night, Three Identical Strangers, and it's about these triplets who were separated at birth. |
0:22.0 | And I've always said, identical twins separated at birth are the arant thread that unravels the whole sweater. |
0:32.0 | You're probably starting to glean that I'm a nature man. |
0:35.0 | Nature man! I'm nature man! |
0:39.0 | Now the right is said to be pro nature, meaning you are who you are from birth. |
0:49.0 | There's nothing really that can change that. |
0:52.0 | The left is all about nurture, and they say this guy is a criminal, this guy is doing bad, because he had a rough upbringing, and if he had the right opportunities, and the right experiences, and the right education, he beat up standing citizen. |
1:08.0 | Obama is the king of nurture. He's like, everyone needs an education! |
1:14.0 | I disagree. And we used to be much more into nature over nurture, but it got to sound Nazi-ish and eugenic-sy, and then we just dropped the whole thing. |
1:27.0 | And now we're just nurture, nurture, nurture, because nature is ugly. I don't know why. |
1:32.0 | You can make a stereotype about a group. Irish people get real ornary when they're drunk. Nixon said that. |
1:40.0 | The Irish get real mean when they're drunk, particularly the real Irish, meaning ones with an accent. |
1:47.0 | You can make a stereotype about a group, as long as you reboot the hard drive, and every time you meet someone, you don't assume that they're part of that group. |
1:58.0 | So when you meet one Irishman, you don't assume that he's going to be a drunk, and he's going to be mean when he drinks whiskey. |
2:05.0 | However, when talking about millions of Irish, you can go, yeah, take it easy with those millions. They might get ornary. |
2:13.0 | And I've always been kind of obsessed with identical twins. There's another good movie. I can dig it up. Asian, Asian, identical twins separated at birth. |
2:29.0 | It's a cute look. Twinsters, it's called. And it's in 2015. And this one twin was raised in France. |
2:43.0 | And the other was raised in America. And one of them did a viral video. I don't know how you know that Asian is identical twins. They tend to look pretty darn similar to the naked eye. |
2:56.0 | I was going to say to bigots like me, that's terrible. But in that movie, Twinsters, it's like nature, nature, nature, nature. Right? It's amazing. They're so similar. And then they get uncomfortable towards the end of the movie. |
3:13.0 | And they go, but one of them reads comic books. And the other doesn't know what a comic book is. Air go. They're very different. And the similarities you saw are just silly. And they just sort of flush the entire first 90% of the movie down the toilet, which is exactly what they do with three identical strangers. |
