It's funny because it's like science is catching up to Buddhism's "karma" concept, as well as their philosophy on interdependence. Essentially, emphasizing the illusion of "independence" and how we are actually much more connected than we think we are. Or in plain englush the "myth of the self made" people.

The genetic perspective is very limited however. Take soldiers in WWII. They didn't just pass their stress to their offspring. They raised their children differently than other men/women would.

That those studies that were done on children of holocaust survivor. How did holocaust survivors raise their own childreN? How did they related to them emotionally? And so on. I think it's quite easy to guess here that those traumatic experiences must have significantly affected their ability to be fully present as a father or mother. And typically this is the big black box. Nobody speaks about that. And how do you measure that, when the affected parents typically are unable to acknowledge that themselves?
