Genetics is not destiny.
[00:00:06.750]
Genetics help predispose you to react certain ways
[00:00:11.790]
to whatever stimuli you find in your environment.
[00:00:15.330]
Basically, what it does is it nudges the probabilities
[00:00:18.220]
one way or the other to how you'll react to a message
[00:00:23.424]
or a stimulus in your environment.
[00:00:26.302]
And if you're in an environment where a lot of the stimuli
[00:00:29.400]
and a lot of the messages
[00:00:31.523]
are playing on people's innate predispositions
[00:00:36.920]
to move in polarized directions, you know what?
[00:00:40.030]
You're gonna end up with a polarized society.
[00:00:43.030]
And I think that's exactly where we are right now.
