On episode 217, we welcome Bill Sullivan to discuss the burgeoning field of epigenetics, why genes are better thought of as dimmers rather than light switches, the antipsychiatry argument against mental illness and why all mental illnesses are organic, what we discovered about the microbiome, the Libet experiments and whether they cast doubt on free will, how genes and parasites affect personality development and change, why it’s difficult for people to understand and accept genetic determinism, fraud in the field of medications purporting to affect gene expression, the ACE studies and their implications for mental health, and how identical twins can be reared in the same environment and exhibit different personalities.
