Well, I mean, of course you can’t change physiology. I’m never going to be calm like a Swede or excitable like a Brazilian. After everything we’ve witnessed, I break out in hives when people suggest changing physiological attributes. Earlier today a UK doctor testified it’s not true that you need a man and a woman to make a baby.
Moving on from my trauma over this insanity, an enormous lot in life depends on the functioning of our nervous system. We think it’s our personality and see its workings as either virtue or moral flaw but it’s often simply physical stuff that exists outside of our volitional purposes.
