Gil Thorp, 1/24/26

So, Gil thinks that opinions and interests are determined by the qualities of a person's "blood" -- which is not a metaphor for genetic inheritance, because offspring can exhibit blood-carried qualities entirely different from that of their parents. Maybe these qualities change due to infections or injuries? Maybe if you watch enough movies, your blood cell counts shift in meaningful ways? Unclear but worthy of further study (let's start draining the Thorp family's blood and putting it into some centrifuges for analysis is what I'm saying).
