The genetics, I guess, this is kind of how I'm imagining it.
It's kind of a fixed amount.
And then the environment, you can either add a little bit of environment ingredients or a lot of environment ingredients.
And depending on how much you add,
the proportion of genetics goes up or down.

Give me $10,000.
I'll change your entire personality.
All right, that's not helpful.

Or like a food you like or something like that.
A certain amount of our personality is heritable.
Yes, it's influenced by genes, for sure.
