Just wanted to vent a bit about my older brother after I was at his son birthday party. We do not talk much so I decided to catch up with his life.
- He got offended when I told him that he is the whitest guy I know. Apparently calling him white was somehow bad. I only said that because without lotion he burns in the sun, full red in a minute.
- We talked about what books he reads now since it is his favorite hobby. Apparently he only reads books with harems in them and lesbians which is fine by me of-course but then he took time to educate me about "the spectrum" which by the way is retarded.
- He only watches movies with a lesbian or at least a bisexual chick as main role
- He told me how good it is to change D&D dark elves and orcs - he does not play it and knows I am a fan - think he only mentioned to piss me off
- He like socialism for some unknown reason, people under socialism worked hard as fuck without having a choice in the matter (parents are from Romania) and he is at a level of lazy that I can not describe.
- Very pro putting social political messages in games/movies and books.
- Totally ignores his son education, the boy was hurting my grandmas dog and he did not care - I mean take him to a doctor behavior not just pull her by the tail. Luckily his wife is a huge capitalist fan, conservative, daughter of an ortodox priest so the kid will be fine.
- Hates J.K. Rowling now :)) I wonder why as he used to be a fan. I chuckled at this one.
- And the worst part he apparently hates me for not being miserable - not kidding. Just because I like what I do (although the company is "progressive"), I love my beautiful wife and I watch my health apparently is somehow privilege although we are brothers and had the same start.
Conclusion: He apparently developed some kind of kinks I do not want to know. He is doing poorly at his job because he is lazy and would rather read then do his work. Hates society and anyone who is happy. Hates being a white male. And wants everyone to be miserable and remove the opportunity to be successful from others. How high does this rank on a SJW scale?
Bonus: What my grandma has to say about socialism: If you are in a point in life where someone else tells you what to do and what to think then you are the same as dead. (is a rough translation from Romanian)
It's a little ambiguous what you mean there, but twin studies have shown time and again that things such as IQ and temperament are significantly hereditary.
Not to discount the supplemental effects of life and environment also influencing those things, which if that's all you're claiming that's fine. But if you're claiming genetics don't influence life outcomes at all based on twins, that's patently wrong.
Which is irrelevant to historic concepts of who/what someone is determining what happens to them and to what experiences they will undergo the moment they are born.
Astrology: the stars determine what happen to you.
Divine Fate/Destiny: God[s] determine what happens to you.
Someone's blood/genetics is just another example in history of these superstitions trying to work out why things happen. Examples based on primitive thinking and understanding of how the world and beyond works.
For the example here identical twins disprove your blood/genetics determining what happens to you because they share the same blood and genetics. Additionally newborns have zero capability to utilise whatever intelligence they may possess.
Even accounting for spontaneous mutations where blood types can change, or attempting to control every single variable under lab conditions it isn't possible for distinct entities to experience the same existence.
You seem confused about what constitutes proof, and apparently biology if you keep using blood types and genetics interchangeably.
The existence of one factor doesn't disprove the existence other factors. That environmental effects exist doesn't disprove genetic effects. Nor, as you seemingly think, is pointing out evidence of genetic effects an attack on the existence of enviromental effects.
There is ample evidence that both exist, and trying to deny the evidence of genetic contribution because it makes you feel uncomfortable is the exact kind of ignorant superstition that you just decried.
