Lysenko, Existentialism and Personality

    A lot of philosophers of the existentialist school will often proclaim that "existence preceeds essence". Not only are they wrong, but dangerous. Your personality, your essence is often, without question, a fixed archetype of qualities that are inborn, with nature playing a first cause and nuture playing the second. By the time a child is an adolescent, He or she has a codified "type" that often dictates the type of life they would eventually lead up until death. This is not without variables, as one can acquire different traits throughout life that may eventually be passed on to their offspring, if they have any, that is. Trofim Lyskenko, a controversial biologist and agrologist did some experimental fieldwork on wheat crops using heat applied and other environmental factors. Much like Lysenko, we can see how that things such as second hand smoke or exposure to asbestos can or may increase the risk of cancer within a family unit. Going with that knowledge, things like bullying, excessive drug use can bring about trauma that can be passed through bloodlines. I'm not one to condone slavery revisionism but you can obviously see how much American blacks act out of line because of conditioned trauma passed down from the days of yore. But lets not get carried away here, many of those existentialist philosophers believed that everyone should try to make their own meaning in life when most of what has been hardcoded in the genetics of man (I'm assuming they are speaking to people well beyond adolescence) have already most of their traits provided to them through nature as the a priori cause and and nurture as the a posteri cause. Your meaning has mostly been dictated before you, what God or Gods have given you, and any other traits you acquire throughout life will be your children's cross to bear. People can transcend these qualities, but only by a bit, through added bits and pieces such as something like drug usage, accidents, trauma (either mental or physical), or something like nutritional supplements and/or general lifestyle changes, such as dramatic weight loss or weight gain. self-image plays quite a bit in this as well, if you have a poor self-image, your kids are likely to as well, conversely, if you have an excellent self-image or are conceited, the same reasoning applies. Its almost how most rich kids have an inflated ego just like their parents, or how traits like excessive saving of money is indoubtably a jewish trait, or like how children of rapists are emotionally hollow like their father. One can see the long term of effects of ethnic displacement among diasporas like the displacement of Anglo-Saxons during the Norman conquest, or the displacement of Palestinians during the Israeli pogroms. I'm sure there were noble Jews in the past which inherited the trait of greed from their ancestors since they were forced to work in finance and learned what they could do with money which fed their neuroticism which got passed down in successive generations. During the fall of Rome many conquests between the Germanic and Celtic tribes and the Romans can be felt long after the empire fell, so much that two world wars spawned out the deep ethnic tensions between tribes that were raped, pillaged, crossbred over and over again over the course of two millenia. Its almost as if such a place is rife for conflict, just as much as the United States with its current tensions, which we shall probably see at five more civil wars in its lifetime, if the country lasts long enough, which it probably will not! Long disregarded as a pseudoscience, one can see some correlation between cause and effect. And don't try to tell me "correlation doesn't equal causation", mr. redditor, because that's not always the case. You and I both know there's almost exceptions to every rule, and that should go without saying. Because if there is room for diversity in this godforsaken planet, that also means diversity of opinion, even indefensible things most people don't care for. Lyskenoism was one particular idea that was disregarded by many people, and its plain as day, self-evident even that the idea that "existence preceeds essence" must be fought back with more than a humanities scholarship.
