The Taste of Pain
An anonymous reader writes "The more the human genome is unraveled and previously non-genetic based attributes are now associated with a specific genetic function, such as physical and emotional pain and taste, it seems, to me, that our personalities appear to be much less influenced by out environment and more by our genes." A related article links your sense of taste to your risk for cancer, heart disease, etc.
let's mention quantum physics and the illusion of free will. Of course your genetics have something to do with emotional pain, etc, for your genetics blueprint your life's development, and your particles are destined to spin in a decipherable pattern (of course only after you die can we decipher the pattern)...
this is not a sig.
During grad school, many of my classmates had to take anti-depressants and other forms of medication in order to continue living a fairly normal day-to-day life.
Their concern over grades led to a very skeptical viewpoint on life, but my how their entire personality was changed simply by taking 1 pill per day.
Don't forget *nix either.
