Genes.
And I'm not just talking about IQ and physical attractivness. I'm talking about literally EVERYTHING.

Low IQ? Genes.
Short? Genes.
No gf? Genes.
Shit work ethic? Genes.
No muscles even if you workout? Genes.
Constantly playing vidya and browsing 4chan? Yep, genes.
With the development of behavioural genetics and evolutionary psychology, turns out most of these traits are caused by genes. Even a big chunk of the "environmental" part is caused by genes that predispose you to certain behaviours.
IT'S OVER.

Based. People will call you an "incel","biological determinist" and "defeatist" but that's just because they're coping.

I just want to argua against a few things.
When you say "workout" do you mean literally working out, eating right, and sleeping properly but still not gaining muscle? If so, then yes that is probably a genetic disorder. But if you are talking about doing those three things, and quitting after a week or month of not seeing the results you want to see is
Also what genes are responsible for 4chan and vidya addiction?

The incels know that modern science is dedicated to keeping the black pill away from the masses. If most men realized they would fuck a few women and then be alone for the rest of their lives, Valentine's Day wouldn't be possible.

genes and environment are the only two factors that determine your life. everything else is determined by them.

The next big wave of equality is going to be genetic equality, and it's going to rock the world. Once the technology exists to significantly change one's genes in a favorable way, the world will never again be the same.

This
Humans mostly screw up their genetic-make up but implying you were "made to fail" if you have the "bad genes" is just like saying you're guaranteed being successful if you're intelligent/tall/good looking (sure, those factors do influence success a lot but still are not enough to guarantee winning at anything)
Just like an intelligent person can fuck their lifes by becoming drug addicts a dumb useless piece of shit can redeem themselves if they're in the proper ambient

Actually the determinist mentality is a cope for not putting effort into doing anything out of your comfort zone by disregarding every opportunity to improve because "that's just who I am and I can't change it lol"
>I can't do this, I'm just dumb and it's all just down to genes, I guess I'm just not made for this!
>I'm below 6' so I am not capable of acquiring a gf. I might as well not put any effort into talking to women altogether
>I'm not the working type - I'm a NEET because of my genes. Some people are made to work, I certainly am not
>Because of my body type I am biologically unable to get swole like gigachad, that's why I stopped going to the gym. There's no point
Of course I agree that people can't change their essential set of characteristics, but clinging to genetic determinism mentality to reason things out results in a simplistic defeatist behavior (If you actually want to have a chance at improving at anything you must first convince yourself that you can or at least try to put your mind into it if you're skeptical, otherwise you'll just boycott youself on purpose because of confirmation bias)
Ask any succesful person if they actually believe their success is only due to their genes
>You don't get muh point!!!!!!
I'm not arguing determinism at all, read again
