Thanks for your response, I kept checking this article/thread over and over again during the last day or two because I am precisely afraid of a world were our lives are "mandated" at a 100% before we're even born -I don't claim that genetics don't matter, I've always thought (even before I understood more and more the scientific literature on the subjects) that it's roughly 50% 50% in environment vs genetics, but the fact that "genetics" can be used to justify our political order and worldwide not for 100% of humanity but for only a certain percentage of it, say the rich or whatever, like it's happening here in HN en masse and like you correctly said that " Throw in the casual attacks on public education at all levels, and implications that we should bow down to a Calvinist tyranny of genetics," and I really have to wonder what is going on here.".
I'd be delighted to read an expanded response in regard to this subject by you :)
Edit: I like to treat this particular subject as dealing with the development of nuclear bomb. You cannot just say "oh, I am just researching this for the sake of science" when you clearly know that once you have that nuclear bomb and can put it to use, you can change the whole world.
