Post #999 about heritability. Can you just show me a diagram instead?

About the article #17 posted – I noticed the weird wording for the “no” choice (about playing God). What arguments do secular people use against genetic engineering?

Razib-
How is the survey coming?

What are your thoughts on raising cognition (general or specific abilities) with drugs, stimulants and games like n-back?

– Do you think forms of discrimination (e.g. governmental, employer and general societal discrimination) are inevitable consequences of belief in differences?

– Do you think many well-known scientists who support the idea of sex differences want discrimination?

– Do you think science in the US is biased towards the political views of the majority of scientists?

– Do you think it is realistic that education standards in the US be increased?

“Their lack of relevance for public policy limit my interest.”

I don’t think any scientists who believe in sex differences have any interest in changes to public policy, either. Has Simon Baron-Cohen, David Buss, Pinker, Helen Fisher, etc. or anyone else of the nature crowd ever even hinted at such a thing? The problem is that since leftists see government policies as a force for social change, they’re the ones suggesting policies intended to close gaps that shouldn’t exist because they believe the differences don’t exist in the first place.

Can someone correct me here? I thought that the slate where personality is written onto is created _only_ by a mix of genes and biology. For personality to change and be affected – prolonged peer experience and dramatic/extreme experience would interact with the personality that’s already been created. I don’t think the “nurture” in “nurture vs. nature” is something that can affect personality on it’s own, isn’t it only interacting with nature? The GSS question could instead ask something about the degree to which experience can affect personality.

The differences for people without and with children are predictable.
