I've always been on the 'this epigenetics inheritance is overhyped ' side of the argument. I need a mechanism.

Overall, a well balanced and argued perspective i hadn't considered. I don't love the reliance on 'public opinion' (just because lots of people think something doesn't make it what should be done) at a few points in the argument. Economic > racial is noted!

The Brainless Propaganda of Stephen Miller
Even by the standards of right-wing rhetoric, Miller’s public statements are uncommonly shameless. He treats his audience as stupid and gullible.

Produce the Body: Why Habeas Corpus Is the Mother of All Our Rights - WhoWhatWhy
