In my read I saw a lot about failures of rare variants to describe heritability. But the point is the same. Science strains its methods to ask harder and harder questions until they fail. In this case it is complex traits and the failure may say more about the trait selection then heritability.

Wonder what embassy that was?

I think this is a good methodological critique, but there is a certain fallacy - we know a lot of traits are genetic and shared in twins, but we don’t include those here because they are obviously genetic. Here are very complex traits that we have selected to study in part because it is not clear.

I refuse to put my finger on it, but yes I notice.

Hey, bro why you working so hard? Why not just have breakthroughs?

A necessary history. My recent surprising find on Black settlements was Salt Spring Island, BC.

I have been thinking a bit about cognitive friction and how many systems seemed to be designed to unnecessarily create it and then make a big deal of partially relieving it - often as a business model. So life becomes a string of them. So this hit the spot.

Yes! Shamed if you do, shamed if you don’t. And Cosco is like, “We generously designed this extra space for your convenience“.

There should be a word for this.
