Now it seems that 'better' opinions are now
inherited and passed down through our genes
to our 'instincts'.

That infers meaning then, that 'other' [not
as good] opinions must be learned or acquired
and not inbred.

It's only a matter of time before those with
'other' opinions are sent to psychiatric wards
because they are diagnosed with an 'unnatural'
opinion or mental disease.

Of course, that's a slippery slope argument.
