Now, there could be even more plasticity after that.

Unlike chimps, we're still not totally myelinized for our whole lives.

So there's definitely room.

It's just there's less room.

Yeah.

So super important.

So we'll take the patent database.

And if your same-sex parent has to be same-sex, patents in a particular domain, you're nine times more likely to patent in that same domain.

Well, so these are very fine domains.

So we're talking about like natural adhesives versus synthetic adhesives.

So unless you think there's genes for that.

And same thing with transistors and electronics.

So very fine domains.

And if you grow up in Silicon Valley, you're much more likely to patent in general, but you're probably going to patent in computers.

But if you grow up in Boston, it's going to be biotech.

So having a father or mother who did biotech and then growing up in Boston, it's an increasing – you're even more likely in biotech.

And this is true even if you move to New York.

So if you look at people in New York who are from Silicon Valley and from Boston, the Bostoners are more likely to patent in biotech and the Silicon Valley kids are more likely to patent in computing.

So all the same rules apply.

Well, I guess I was thinking, so the model here is what to focus your efforts on.
