Most people who you'd (clearly) slur as hereditarians don't actually believe in "strong genetic determinism." Why don't you just share what your estimate is?

Is it zero?
- tptacek 2mo agoI don't know how we can continue discussing at this point, since "hereditarian" is not a slur (it's how many in the field would describe themselves). You either follow this research or you don't, either is fine, but it's not reasonable to attack other people for being familiar with it. It's totally OK if we're just not going to persuade each other or develop any productive ideas in this thread! I've said all I originally wanted to say.
