GENETICS (from the Greek genesis - origin), a science that studies the laws of heredity and variability of organisms.
So here:
1. Intelligence is not passed from father to son. That is, if you are a genius, then your son will not 100% inherit your genes.
2. Idiocy is not transmitted from father to son. If you are a complete nerd, then your son will not be the same idiot as you (with which we congratulate you).
3. Intelligence from a father can only be passed on to a daughter. And only half.
4. A man can inherit intelligence only from his mother, which she, in turn, inherited from her father.
5. Daughters of geniuses will be exactly half as smart as their fathers, but their sons will be geniuses. If their father is dumb, then their daughters will be exactly half dumb than their fathers.
6. Therefore, brilliant women almost do not exist, just as there are no one hundred percent idiots women. But there are a lot of men-geniuses and men-dumb. Hence the generation of underdog drunks, single mothers, and Nobel laureates (almost all men).
Conclusions for men:
1. To predict the mental abilities of your son, look at your wife's father (if he is an academician, then your son will also be smart).
2. Your daughter will receive half of your mind. But also half of your debility. Intellectually, she will be closer to you. Her son will get all your mental powers. If you want a smart generation, dream of a daughter.
3. Your mental abilities from your mother, or rather from your grandfather.

Conclusions for women:
1. Your son is mentally a copy of your father, and scolding him “you are as stupid as your father” is not entirely true.
2. Your daughter will be like you in education, but in mind like her father. Her sons will be the mental copies of your husbands.
“The main result of the increase in life expectancy is believed to be that older people now live longer. But this is not the case.
The main, huge, strategic consequence of the leap in life expectancy that is changing before our eyes is not that old age now lasts longer, but that it begins much later.
For those who are 40, 50, 55 years old today, old age will begin only at the age of 75-80. That is, for a good 25 years - a quarter of a century! - later than for the generation of our parents.
More recently, there were only 3 main periods in human life: youth, maturity, old age. Now "maturity" happens at 50 and marks the beginning of a completely new stage in human life that simply did not exist before.
What do we know about him?
1. It lasts almost 30 years - from 50 to about 75.
2. Unlike previous ideas, the physical and intellectual capabilities of a person during this period, with the right approach, do not decrease and remain, at least, no worse, and in some cases even better than in youth.
3. Potentially, this is the best, the highest quality period in human life, since it combines health, strength and life experience. “If youth knew, if old age could” - this is no longer about us. According to all the statistics of recent years, the happiest time in life, its peak now comes at about 65 years old.
4. Those who are 55-65 years old today are the first in the history of mankind to live this period. Previously, it simply did not exist, since people grew old much earlier.
5. In the next few decades, people aged 50-75 will become the largest age group on the planet.
How is life after 50 different from the whole previous life? Yes, the fact that no one has ever taught us how to live after 50!
In infancy we are prepared for childhood, in childhood for adolescence, in adolescence for youth, and in youth we spend tens of hours preparing ourselves for the upcoming trials of maturity. And only the border of 50 years we cross, not having the slightest idea of how, what and for what to live further.
There is nothing surprising here. Where does this knowledge come from, if old age officially began for the generation of our parents at the age of 50, and it was not supposed to live on at all, but it was supposed to begin to die a little.
We rarely realize that the life program that we strictly follow, traveling through life, is actually inherent in us by previous generations. It is the previous generations that created those books, films, and the educational system that shape our consciousness in childhood and youth.
But the previous generations did not have any ideas about life after 50 for the simple reason that after 50 years there was no life in principle. Therefore, they are not in the program of life, which we inherited from them.
According to all and all kinds of statistics for those who are 50-55 or so today, old age will not begin until 80 years old. It's very, very nice, of course. They just took and gave us as many as 25 years (!) Of additional active and eventful life. The problem is that they have not been taught how to use this gift. And as a result, crossing the border of 50 and unknowingly agreeing to premature old age, we risk losing a good 25-30 years, which - without exaggeration - could be the best in our life.
After 50 years in life comes a wonderful moment when there is time, health, strength, freedom from social obligations, experience, and before the beginning of old age, by modern standards, another quarter of a century!
Do not waste this time in vain. Then you will be very sorry!
If you are over 50, then absolutely everything is possible for you today: new hobbies, new joys and impressions, a new career, new love, new travels. Moreover, the quality of these life experiences far exceeds anything that was available in a green, inept youth or a maturity burdened with obligations.
Uraaaa !!! Live and live!"
