Fat genes
Nature > Nurture
“But what about hard work and willpower”
Boy do I have news for you
That’s all hugely biological too
Especially when all environmental nurture that had kept the fat genes in check suddenly dissapears

“Obesity is one of the strongest genetically influenced traits we have.”
— So that means you can’t blame people for being obese, right?
No… that’s left-wing insanity
E.g. right would still believe in jailing murderers, even if there turns out to be some powerful murdering gene that makes someone 10,000x more predisposed to murdering
Only left believes in freeing all murderers if the murderers couldn’t control their murderous ways
Which is all to say,
— Yes, obesity and many other things are overwhelmingly biological,
— But no, that does not change culpability or much of anything else at about how it’s dealt with really
— Except when it comes to matters of passing genes on to future generations. Here, the fact that it’s extremely biological has huge implications, changing what should be done

Kegan’s Orders of Conciousness Level 1: babies understanding object permanence Level 2: can understand what gets you what you want, but little personal values beyond that very crude values system Level 3: tribal adopting of your tribe’s values which are…
Kegan’s Orders of Conciousness
Nicely suggesting “just eat less bro” — Even if it is 100% true that this would work if followed,
— Still fails at achieving Order of Conciousness Level 4
I.e. understanding how profoundly different other people’s minds may work than your own, how profoundly different their internal reward systems may be
Let alone achieving Level 5
i.e. being able to suggest effective solutions for those with very different minds than your own
(Credible penalties & threats is a slightly different story, since response to those is much more universal than are responses to asking nicely — but even then, not everone even responds to serious credible threats of punishment, so above still often applies if change is desired)

Is the measure you’re using a good measure?
…No, percent of gene difference — with e.g. 85% difference being magically considered to be not a big deal, is nonsensical
No “just because” magic numbers
Only proper way to measure ANY type of goodness is with respect to some end-task, or general surrogate task
THIS is the fundamental difference between truth -vs- values (i.e. questions of goodness)
— Truth is ALWAYS universal and NEVER needs a scenario specified, truth stands alone, so to speak
— Value is NEVER universal and ALWAYS needs a scenario specified, even if surrogate, value cannot exist without a scenario
To wit — nah, if 15 of your genes got scrambled, you would not be fine, you’d be absolutely wrecked
No, the human genetic difference in basketball ability, chess ability, firefighter ability, whatever — is not small, it’s enormous, as measured in results different people would have on those tasks
Shaq would wreck you 1,000,000:1 in basketball
Human differences are not small, not ignorable, they’re massive
Embrace HBD

“balance”
Fundamental leftist belief
=
For any benefit there must be a counterbalancing downside
For anyone to gain, others must always lose
All people are secretly equal, any superiority someone has in one area must be offset by a superiority the other person secretly must have in some other area
Never some people just totally dominating others in all areas
Never everyone simultaneously benefitting with no one worse off
— Extremely appealing ideas to the leftist-minded intuition
Used as justification for many of their forced “equity” and forced “diversity” measures
Only problem is they’re not true
“Balance” is BS
