what effective difference do you think this makes?

It literally determines what you do your entire life. A man uninterested in any intellectual subject will never produce any great work. A man extremely interested in something will go far. If we consider the determinism of intelligence, we can see how it is up to chance when an einstein or napoleon is born, or just when a hillary clintom is born, or when a simple professor at a community college is born, or when you are born, or when I am born, or when a heroin addict is born.

I always found determinism freeing in a weird way. It kind of takes the blame off you and puts in onto something else. Who cares if you shoot someone? Who cares if you write a masterpiece? Who cares if you commit suicide? Who cares?

Obviously those who are predetermined to care.
