Born to lead? "Success" can be an inherited trait

So… this post has been sitting in my draft box for a while now, just decided to upload it now.

**Disclaimer** This might demotivate you or motivate you.

Here we go:

Study conducted at the University College London (UCL) shows that Genetic differences are significantly associated with the likelihood that people take on managerial responsibilities.

A specific DNA sequence is associated with the tendency for individuals to occupy a leadership position and one’s intellect and moral aptitude.

So how worthy was this study?

Using a large twin sample, the international research team, which included academics from Harvard, NYU, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of California at Berkley, estimate that a quarter of the observed variation in leadership behavior between individuals can be explained by genes passed down from their parents. Technically, the researchers have identified a genotype, called rs4950, which is found in “successful” people. They compared genetic samples from thousands of individuals with information about jobs and relationships, finding that in both surveys there was a significant association between rs4950 and leadership.

Believe in destiny•fate? Well maybe, it's the rs4950.

Although the vast scientific community and respectful people from the academia fondly agrees (obviously they have rs4950), I  have a tad regret in accepting this fact study. Because, according to 'science', it is technically impossible difficult for a dumb less-powered DNA to become successful (I know this might sound messed up)… Philosophically however, Any Rand would have a love•hate interest in this, but that's life… well, science.

Sitting in my room (back home in NYC) listening to Interstellar soundtrack is just an awe-inspiring experience! It was an epic scifi film, one with emotion, action, love, and sweeping landscapes of a ‘strange new world’. Surely everyone who has seen this movie probably felt some element of that.

But what really kept the philosophical meaning of the movie was the OST. I mean the score by Hans Zimmer is just absolutely dramatic and otherworldly! It just makes you fell as if you were witnessing the grandeur of our universe, the impossible and the pioneering voyages, right from the characters mind.

Oh (still listening to the music) and the empowering sound whilst giving us the violins, organs and horns of the epicness made his soundtracks magnificent. And, its just beautiful how Hans sneaks in his moving piano themes that brings out the characters emotions and yearning so very well. It just stamps these vibes and what you make out of the movie scene right into your head. 

Ok getting to the point here: Of course one of Interstellar’s novum is love. I still ponder on Brand’s quote “Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.“ I mean Interstellar does not try to say that love is another dimension. It's actually just a beautiful metaphor?

Look, all of the emotional factors in Interstellar simply should not undermine the idea concept that love is just as solid and strong as the other forces making up our planet universe. So talking chemistry, love is no more unstable than certain radioactive elements, it pushes and pulls us better than gravity ever could, and it endures through time (metaphor, duh).

People who have seen interstellar interpret it in many different ways! Some are just blindly wowed by the science and how epic it was, and some.. 

(my eyes are drooping right now...i should perhaps get some sleep lol) But really, Interstellar is utterly filled with deep elements of existential-philosophical subtext! I’m afraid to use the word ‘love’ outside the quotation marks but yea! I’m just rambling at this moment.

Intense.
