In Defense of Genetic Determinism

Here I entertain the notion that at population level, social conditioning is something of an illusion, and that ultimately it’s masking the real driver: distributions of genetic influences.

About This Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to be a place for me to fail. Publicly. Perhaps spectacularly. So it goes – that’s just how I learn. Let me elaborate. There are some subjects I know fairly well, but I don’t really want to discuss them here. On the other hand, there are a lot of other things that I don’t know well, but that I’d like to understand much better.

Installation Notes

As a first post, I thought I’d document how I put this blog together, specifically using Hugo + GitHub-Pages. Honestly, this is probably more for my reference that anyone else’s, but whatever. It was good practice in a number of directions, mostly since I don’t know what I’m doing. Anyway, let’s get started. Everything found below was cobbled together from the following websites. https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/ https://themes.gohugo.io/tale-hugo/ https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/ Preliminaries: I’m working on a Mac, and I use homebrew from the command line to install stuff.

Hello World!

Hello World! Classic opener. Let’s see where things go from here.
