conversely, I also don't think it's "eugenics" to point out that some traits are heritable, I just don't think almost any extremely complex social behaviors are heritable

very cool how we have people who think fascism is a heritable trait
Has that Maine guy tried claiming Ukrainian heritage to defend his totenkopf tat? I keep getting told that when Ukrainians have those and black suns and shit that's actually part of their rich and proud culture, maybe that'll get him some lib support

Excited that our new paper with @henrylabsymbio.bsky.social and Kerry Oliver is out @pnas.org! We show that mobile genetic elements can spread adaptive host-benefiting traits across heritable insect symbionts on eco-evolutionary timescales.🧵

Every complaint about the left here can be summed up with ‘they don’t believe Black people evolved to be unintelligent in a heritable way’
I still want someone to ask Haidt what he meant by “IQ deniers” and “Stereotype accuracy deniers.”

so, "vastly less heritable than ZIP code."
the answer to my question is that if IQ were highly polygenic, then normal reassortment would show almost instantaneous reversion to the mean, and if the relationship between these genes was nonconvex, it would appear not to be very heritable at all.

Monozygotic (MZ) or identical twins are significantly more likely to both be trans (21.2%, 47/222) than the case of dizygotic (DZ) of non-identical twins (8.7%, 21/241), out of 463 twin pairs, suggesting genetics *does* play some part contributing to gender identity.

Haterade: heritable trait
if a large number of SNPs were to explain intelligence, then intelligence would be genetic but more or less not heritable.
In 2018, Charles Murray challenged me to a bet: "We will understand IQ genetically—I think most of the picture will have been filled in by 2025—there will still be blanks—but we’ll know basically what’s going on." It's now 2025, and I claim a win. I write about it in The Atlantic.
Your Genes Are Simply Not Enough to Explain How Smart You Are
Seven years ago, I took a bet with Charles Murray about whether we’d basically understand the genetics of intelligence by now.

Suicidal behaviors are more heritable than depression, new twin study finds
A new analysis of young adult twins suggests that suicidal behaviors are highly heritable. While they share moderate genetic overlap with major depression, the unique environmental factors triggering these behaviors remain largely distinct.
