This more related to the omnigenic model that’s referenced in the article: if every gene affects most traits we care about, maybe studying genes is too low-level for most things? Like of course a massive collection of atoms caused world war 2 but we gain no explanatory power by studying sociological conflicts at the level of atoms. Perhaps we need to find a higher level of abstraction over genes, such as gene networks.
