Any evidence that grit isn’t also a heritable trait?

• Konohamaru 6y ago
  The above argument doesn't hold if free will doesn't exist. But then I couldn't choose to believe that I have free will if free will doesn't exist, so why bother arguing?

    Even assuming free-will exists, the argument assumes that "grit" is less heritable than "intelligence," which is a claim that needs to be substantiated.

      Then replace grit with desire, or desire with faith in oneself, or faith in oneself with determination to live and die doing what I value, etc....

        Again, is there evidence that any of those is less heritable than intelligence? Replacing the words with synonyms doesn't change the fundamentals of the claim.
