The conclusion? "A newborn mouse pup, seemingly innocent to the workings of the world, may actually harbor generations' worth of information passed down by its ancestors."
Now consider the ramifications of inherited generations of fears and experiences on human beings. As the Post reports, "Studies on humans suggest that children and grandchildren may have felt the epigenetic impact of such traumatic events such as famine, the Holocaust and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."
In other words, fear, trauma and compliance can be passed down through the generations.
Fear has been a critical tool in past fascistic regimes, and it now operates in our contemporary world--all of which raises fundamental questions about us as human beings and what we will give up in order to perpetuate the illusions of safety and security.
We are at a critical crossroads in American history, and we have a choice: freedom or fascism.
Let's hope the American people make the right choice while we still have the freedom to choose.
