That's kinda cool, wasn't there a manga about something like that? I think it was just romcom trash though.

It's "unshared" environment. (i.e. measurement error and cosmic rays).

Ok then, everyone just sit there and do nothing. I'm sure your genetics will give you everything.

What about those stories of twins separated either at birth or while they were still very young that led remarkably similar lives?

So idk I'm supposed to think this proves poor people are stupid and rich people are smart but it also kinda shows some people are rich by sheer luck, and stupid lucky people don't wanna go back.

Koreans, like the Chinese, are big into determinism. It's part of their culture to think of themselves and others as being born with some potential while having to work hard at it so that others can benefit from it. It differs from European conceptions, for example, where your potential is more fluid and malleable and simultaneously expected to work less at it.

This philosophic conception partially explains why China is a successful totalitarian regime and why South Korea is a corporate-feudalistic state.

the odds of a "genius" developing well in any western public schooling system would probably be way lower.

south korean schools are world apart from what we know here.
being a genius of any social background is priceless there
now here in low income neighbourhood public schools... think the gender studies graduate teacher will make timmy the genius blossom to his full potential? they're more like to try and brainwash him into cutting his junk off

And Japan had the opposite case where the rich kid got fucked with an abusive family life and the poor one became rich and happy. Another somewhat similar case where two Korean twins were separated, but the Korea one became educated while the American one turned into a cook.

Anecdotes anon.

>where the rich kid got fucked with an abusive family life in the poor family while the poor one became rich, successful and happy. The rich parents he was raised by died never knowing the difference or at least can tell he may not be theirs but loved him like their own. His adoptive brothers also love him a lot.

Tl:Dr way to many anecdotal evidence in either direction to prove any real solid state policy

Does anyone mention how Lee fairs against the average student from his local community of birth or nationally? Because typically more access to resources does improve performance relative to your original background.

It's like getting low marks in a AP course. Yes, it's shit but how does that translate to non AP. Especially when the person in question has recieved tutoring and higher level classes that the average person wouldn't?

Also reminder that adoption even at birth does not completely invalidate impeded neurogenesis development at the prenatal stage while the fetus is being affected by sub-par nutrition due to being carried in a poor background.

Don't forget the epigenetic effects that can go back to the grandparents generation

Exactly, adoption isn't the clean slate people believe it is. You're dealing with biology that's been tempered by multiple generations. The general point extracted from adoption studies was that improvements could be seen with the child beyond their initial background.

Without knowing Lee’s initial background in terms of family or his local community's academic performance we can't accurately assess the general performance with respect to his background.
