A lot of your posts make me feel like I’m missing a lot of very specific context.
This is called “mental diarrhea”, and apparently it just never stops.
They said they had early onset Alzheimer’s the other day and it kind of explains a lot.
Well I am very easy going. No one keeps me in on most jokes. But feel free to ask me anything. I am at a point in my life that IDGAF or maybe a midlife crises. So whatever you feel your missing I will try to help as much as I can. Like the grapes and testicle thing.
Because of genetics.
Ok going into this like you are a very smart person. So your telling me that i was going to become a nurse by genetics? Or couldn’t deal with kids with cancer or lukewarm because I was predisposed?
Possibly. If the genes that cause you to get satisfaction from taking care of others, that would cause you to gravitate towards nursing. If your instinctual reaction to deformity, illness or bodily fluids outweighs that disposition, then you’d be less likely to be a nurse.
Your reactions to sights, sounds, smells, etc are not choices, right? You can be self aware and modulate your response, but the underlying reaction is determined everyday by your biological coding. Hence your genetics can lead you towards or push you away from careers based on your individual disposition as determined by your genetics.
I’m loving all this, but let’s not forget nurture! What we learn through our experiences can create or crush that same desire to help people that leads to nursing.
But of course, but your reaction to your environment is itself a product of your genetics. So it is an inseparable combination. You can’t disregard the nurturing, and it has an effect, but it is modulated by your biology, determining your reaction, response, and how it changes you going forward, so inescapably the underlying driver is genetics.
Look up Robert Sapolsky’s arguments on this.
