I have become increasingly irritated when i hear the uninformed describe someones psychological nature using the phrase"It must be in his genes".
Being an astrologer for a long time i have learnt from experience that a persons psychological nature is definitely astrological in origin,but i have never yet heard of a convincing 'psychological gene'.
All the genetic behaviourist data i have read suggests psychological genes are very complex and difficult to explain,Not very convincing to me.
It appears to me that the only psychological nature i can associate with genes is the possible psychological nature that is the consequence of a physical condition.ie:A congenital illness might lead to depression.
The opposite side of that would be the commonly accepted opinion that if we get very depressed we are more likely to get ill,maybe the type of illness is more likely to be something you are congenitally susceptible to?
It looks to me that the 'Church of Science' is the only acceptable opinion irrespective of whether there is any real evidence.
Has anyone heard of a convincing psychological gene?
