wait wouldn't this mean you could predict people's personalities similar to how we can predict the weather but not change it

[–] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Even if there was influence, we're still shaped by the environment in which we grow, especially personality, so no you couldn't predict only from the starting point. Maybe if one day we are able to perfectly simulate a brain and record the entirety of a life, then we may be able to predict a personality. But that's not happening anytime soon.

And a massive reason for legal abortions; I wouldn't want my children to become the passive aggressive, depressive smartass I am. Better to make sure they're born some other date of the year.
