Are our lives truly shaped by hard work, or is everything already written in our genes? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the science and controversy behind genetic predetermination — exploring how much of our intelligence, personality, physical traits, and even success might be dictated by the DNA we inherit at birth.

Inspired by insights from Lao Gao and Xiao Mo’s viral discussion and backed by scientific studies, this episode unpacks:
🔬 The heritability of IQ, personality, and talent
🧬 Why your fingerprint is 98% genetically determined
📉 The limits of education and effort after puberty
🧠 What science says about race, gender, and intelligence
🎼 Why musical talent may be more inherited than practiced
🧠 How mental illnesses and body weight are tied to genes
💡 And the provocative idea that success = genes × effort

We also reflect on how this understanding challenges traditional views on fairness, education, and personal responsibility.

Whether you agree or not, this episode will leave you questioning how much control we really have over our lives.
