Not really. Not the degree you seem to think. Otherwise identical twins would have the same personality. You’ve edited your post while I wrote this response. Your final point is a straw man. I didn’t say anything like that. Good day to you

Identical twins aren't exposed to identical environments; if the programmed response was particularly sensitive to small input variations, genes could completely determine interaction with the environment and identical twins could still be very different.

  Which is my point. Environment shapes the individual.

    No. Genetics shape how the individual responds to the environment. Just because you can change the environment and get different results doesn't mean it's not due to genetics.

> Not really. Not the degree you seem to think Can you explain to me how our genetics don't dictate our responses? Short of God or some other unknown unknown (which is certainly possible), I don't see how it could be anything else. Identical twins aren't in identical environments. It's not possible. Sorry for the edits, I was trying to shortcut the argument based on what I thought you were saying.
