>This week, Robert Plomin, professor of behavioral genetics at King’s College London, published a paper showing that a child’s educational success can be predicted by their genes. Genetic data from 20,000 DNA variants across several genes collectively account for 10% of the differences in children’s educational achievement age 16. At the most extreme ends of this genetic variation is an entire exam grade difference—from A to B grade for those with the highest polygenic score, to B to C grade for those with the lowest.

Man, I wish. I would at least have a better shot at networking.

Any way you look at it, our current society is on it's way out. I'm hoping things will at least be tolerable until I die, but I'm not too optimistic on the matter.

So let the people revel in materialism. Let them all relax; lower castes are stupid and higher ones work too hard. Let words like 'truth' and 'beauty' and 'God' collect dust on the bookshelves. It's all good.
