The thesis that it doesn’t matter how you raise your children is so manifestly stupid that it’s risible. It can be falsified with a single counter example. For example, there is absolutely no way the Polgar sisters would have become a chess prodigy had their father made different parenting choices. Same for W.A. Mozart and many other prodigies. Another more common example is the Asian-American tiger moms who vigorously push their children into academics and music. There’s no doubt that those children would turn out different if they were just raised on X-box and pizza rolls.
