Are you born with talent or do you adapt it over time? (Split from TOGS' thread)

Your fingers may not be predisposed, but your brain is.

I'm going to come back this thread later when I've actually eaten and my mind is functioning properly. I think you guys are severely misunderstanding what genetic traits do and what their purpose is.

Not everyone is equal. They can't be, or evolution wouldn't function.

You so gotta read the book Next by Michael Crichton. It's a fantastic satire about some people taking genetics too seriously (not saying you are, I'm just saying that this book takes your point of view to the extremes).

Next was a terrible book. I hated Crichton for writing it.

Are you serious?! I mean, the dry humor was kinda old after page 500 but I thought it was great! What didn't you like about it?
