You try something and you're really good at it. You know, these life experiences that different kids in the same family experience pull their personalities apart. As you can have identical twins, right, raised in the same family.

Same, there's no first born, there's no second born, they share 100% of the genes, they have the same parents, same family environment, yet their lives will pull them in different ways and they can end up quite different in all sorts of interesting ways.

The more genes you share, the more likely you are to be similar. And so identical twins are on average going to be a lot more similar than any two siblings who aren't twins, and certainly than any two strangers. But the very fact that they don't come out exactly the same. I know twins where one's very liberal and one's very conservative, for instance. And I think that's interesting.

I think for all of this. Let's focus on the good side. On Einstein's. Put the Dahmer's aside for a bit. Part of his genetic gifts. So everyone's noticed for a long time. These things run in families. These families of geniuses. even if they're raised very differently, certain genius abilities, mathematical abilities, say, or musical abilities crop up. They get a very lucky throw of the genes.

But that can't be enough because you need the opportunity, right, to have the genes flourish. I bet there's a thousand Einsteins raised in parts of Africa and parts of Asia where they never get a mathematical education. They never learn physics. Nobody supports them. They don't go to school. They're not nurtured.

For a long time, roughly half the world, women, whatever abilities they have would not be given environments to flourish. And so you need both, right? You need the genetic gifts. Without the genetic gifts, you're not going to be an Einstein. But without the environment, you're not going to be it either. You know, take your favorite athlete.
