Um, but I think it's it's interesting how much the idea that we're genetically predisposed to something or um, you know, we're genetically better at something can actually influence how we are at that thing. Um, so we talked a little bit um before about you know there there was a study where they told people they said we're going to take your take your DNA, we're going to genotype you, we're going to find out, you know, whether if you train you're going to get faster or whether it's not going to affect you at all. Um, and so they did that and they put people into these groups and then they they tested them after a few months and the people who they told were going to do better did better. And this was like something they could measure at the bi the biological level. They could measure specific molecules that had changed in that population of people um compared to the other group of people. Now the trick was that there was no difference genetically between these groups. It was just what they were told.
