I have come to think indeed, that "genetics" is bunk. Surely there is some mechanism that passes on traits - perhaps electromagnetic "states...?" But the gene thing... Not so much.

I give very good probability that psychopathy can be passed along, which would explain the avid passion the Ones at the top have in inbreeding. Heh.

Good article, and I do hope Many read and contemplate.

Yes it's a big question. Burroughs thought the atom bomb killed the soul of its victims. The electric field ? He doesn't say.

There's a great book on the pioneers of Australian rock-climbing called tellingly "The Living Rock". What's good about it also, it's told in the words of the participants. Hairy ! Surfing and climbing seem to be the only true Australian sports for these elemental reasons. Drinking doesn't count, although I'd lose my citizenship for saying so !
