The latest on nature and nurture
Everything requires nature and nurture.
“Brainman” – who is ostensibly one of the smartest dudes in the world, see google, explains that he is gay by nature. But I say he can only be by nature and nurture combined. Anyone is born with the possibility of being gay or straight, nice or mean, work hard or be lazy. Each has an inherited predisposition to be more or less one way or another but nobody can be identical so tiny mental mutations make radical life differences when expounded over a lifetime.
Fighting is same way – when drunk men fight are they doing that because they are angry or because they decided to fight? If in fact if they didnt “decide” at all then they would fight until the death by nature. In real life it’s a combination and anyone can be pushed to be passive or aggressive - yet were born with a natural predisposition to be more of one or the other. Ones lacking the control mechanism are out of control and in jail or dead and therefore their genes spread more slowly by natures design, not wanting too many off the map mutants breeding in the gene pool lest we all become out of control by design. Yin and yang.
A flower is born likely to be the same as the one next to itself until one is transplanted and successive generations breed. At this point one group will have more sun and love than the other and the coddled one will shine extra bright and spread its pollen babies in even greater numbers and further in to the forest. I think.
Nurture’s part of the DNA strand lets it manipulate the mutatable mechanism and therby create differentiators, and competitors for species.
Whereas the control mechanism in a normal balanced evolutionary model like a human will protect the basic genetic functions, i.e. natures part of the DNA strand, from learning/changing too much but still allow it to differentiate enough to compete and ultimately evolve each population in competition with the other.
The combination of the nature and nurture portions of the DNA make up each whole human.
I am shocked if you read this far. You are nice.

Ahhh, nature vs. nurture, the longest running and never concluded debate. next to which came first…
