I cannot fathom how the world continues to function with the existence of a genetic lottery.

Are people just oblivious? Or do they not understand the extent to which it affects them?

From the moment you are born, 80% of your life is already decided.
>Are you healthy?
>will you be smart?
>what is your gender?
>what is your potential height?
>will you be attractive?
>is your immune system strong?

By the time you are 13, 95% of your life is already decided
>were your parents wealthy?
>was your nutritional needs met?
>was your education good?
>were your emotions treated well?

I truly believe if most people actually sat down, thought and accepted that most of their lives were already decided, the world would break down
We live in a world built on the lie that hard work pays off, and everyone is born equal and the people at the top are there out of merit.

Knowing that a few nudges here and there in my genetics would have made me extraordinary makes me suicidal. I feel as if I was born a slave and there is no real choice I am afforded, just an illusion of actual freedom.

I mean the difference between those two is also that the right one is 30 years older lol.

well said anon
the rich need the poor to believe that "they too can make it," otherwise the system becomes untenable
let a few poor sods drag themselves out of the muck and they will instill a frenzy in the underlings, a dream that they, or their children, or their children's children can make it out of the muck with hard work too

Much of your life is decided by genetics and factors outside of your control, such as who you parents are and where you grow up. This is true.
However, life is, to a large extent, what you make of it. Especially as an adult.
Life as a kid and teenager was beyond miserable. I had a habit of holding a knife to my throat and running through the pros and cons when I was young because I had no control over my life. I know that I was dealt a shit hand growing up. Dirt poor, immigrant background, little affection from my parents, and was raised to be a sissy pushover by my mom and sisters because my father was functionally absent from my life. Despite all of this, once you make it to adulthood, things get better. You have the ability to change your behavior, your personality. You MUST sit down and think about your life. What went wrong? What is within your control? Change that what you can.
Those things that cannot be changed about yourself are unfortunate, but the vast majority of humans alive have more than a few things they cannot change about themselves that they'd like to change. What is important is to seek out other people who have also done this self-reflection to better themselves and accept what they cannot change, and can accept that which others cannot change about themselves.

>5% odds?
>good as any

People are usually content with what they have, even if not everything was consciously earned.
You're suicidal because you're not the top 1%. Best if you did follow on your urges.

Do you believe the one on the right looked as good as the left when he was thirty years younger?

>>81495420 (OP)
I want both to be hung on the same tree as the father. Next question.

ok, t b h, I've read something that women can absorb genetic information with their pussies, so maybe assholes have similar functionality
