    Not sure I see the conflict:
    –“Our results indicate that rare coding variants will implicate a tractable number of large-effect genes, that common and rare associations are mechanistically convergent, and that rare coding variants will contribute only modestly to missing heritability and population risk stratification.”-
    vs
    -“Our results imply that rare variants, in particular those in regions of low linkage disequilibrium, are a major source of the still missing heritability of complex traits and disease.”-

    Plus testing for complex diseases versus height/body mass – even if H/BM is distributed it’s not the same as disease like schizophrenia. These results are what I’d expect.

    But again, I’m happy to be wrong and be educated as a consequence.

    RE: Religious frame.
    Is the religious frame cause, or consequence?
    I can find no case where it’s not a consequence.
    We justify. Religions justify. We need only decompose and disambiguate what it is they justify. There is nothing good in christianity that was not in greco roman thought, and everything bad in christianity (judaism, islam) is an introgression of fraud into western thought.

    Difference? Western thought began as aristocratic negotiation. Middle eastern thought began as peasant manipulation and organization. So Christianity provided a means by which the slaves, underclass, immigrants, and women could find respect and virtue in ‘doing no wrong to the commons’ versus respect and virtue ‘in doing good for the commons’ that was the principle of aristocratic religion.

    Unfortunately, instead of continuing the progress of the Sol Invictus character that integrated into the model, the Christian (seditious) model that also UNDERMINED the aristocracy, their arts, letters, reason, ethics, morals, religion, tradition, and institutions, and fed the honor of the high cost of military participation that made Rome possible – was a preference.

    So the Jewish Christianity of the church destroyed the ancient world from within just as much as Islam destroyed the ancient world from without.

    Same as today.

    You have no idea. I can rattle this stuff off the top of my head rapidly and endlessly, while periodically interjecting long arcs of historical causality across comparative civilizations, and taking frequent side trips into group differences in methods of argument and deception, while trying to play foosball, and occasionally sipping a scotch – without dropping a beat.

    (Well, as long as my allergies aren’t bothering me anyway.)

    OPPRESSION THEORIES VS CONSPIRACY THEORIES
    (And the causes and consequences)

    Oppression narratives are the cognitively female and liberal version of the cognitively male and conservative conspiracy narratives.

    This sex difference in cognitive biases originates in sex differences in status-seeking. Females seek status by evasion of responsibility and hyperconsumption, while males seek status by the accumulation of responsibility and capitalization.

    So, the difference as in all things left vs right, is that we take male antisocial nonsense seriously because males are dangerous, and we ignore female antisocial nonsense because women aren’t dangerous.

    At least, women weren’t dangerous until given the franchise. Now the opposite is true, and the present age is caused by the noise as the signal of women’s influence in politics travels through the civilizations’ institutional, traditional, normative, habitual, and cognitive capital structures.

    This particular problem (which I can’t fully determine whether is cultural or biological) has allowed the industrialization of the female method of antisocial behavior using oppression narratives to take root in a population whose education, consumption, and voting is dominated by white females. (white females are the only group that defects from their ethnicity.

    We endured marxism as we brought the lower classes into the franchise – a search for control.

    Now we’re enduring feminism as we bring females into the franchise – a search for control

    And unfortunately we’ve not falsified the female search for control as we have the lower class search for control.

    I would say that if we discover a law of nature that we can make use of it, and we can obey it, but we will pay the costs of disregarding it – and there are no exceptions that I know of.

    I’d also say that the universe, the solar system, the geology, the climate, the flora, and fauna have done everything possible to kill us with disturbing regularity. In fact, the universe is a vast irradiated wasteland hostile to life, particularly ours.

    The evidence would strongly suggest that not mother nature, nor gods, nor God care for our condition – only that we achieve their ambitions for us. And those ambitions consider us domesticated animals until at some point in the distant future we face extinction or transformation by evolution into gods ourselves.

    Jesus told us the only way to tolerate the tragic conditions during our journey: the extension of kinship love to all until we determine it’s fruitless.

    Well, you know, I’m in the business of testimony. I can’t testify to that (you can’t either). We can predict that as one of the many outcomes in a field of possibilities. We can trust our judgment or not, but that’s not making a truth claim about the world – just you. 😉

    People said the paper currency wouldn’t work either. And the paper currency isn’t backed. Digital fiat currency doesn’t even exist as paper. It’s just debt on a hierarchy of ledgers.

    So I stick to criticizing the risks that are unstated or understated and assume it will evolve into something other than what it is, simply because the utility of the ledger is better than any method or tech we have today.

    In law does it matter if you intend to cause a harm, or only if your actions cause a harm? The latter, it matters that you failed due diligence against harm. In truth does it matter if you intend to lie, or that you failed due diligence against lying? The latter – your intention doesn’t matter. In Jewish ethics does it matter the buyer’s consequence of the exchange, or just that the exchange was voluntary?

    Similarly, in Jewish ethics, does it matter if the exchange was productive, or whether it was just voluntary? In Jewish ethics, does it matter if risk is symmetric or can it be asymmetric? In Jewish ethics, are all people treated equally or differently?

    I can answer these questions and dozens more for every religion, which represents every major civilization.
