Ugh, I'm so over Channel 4's documentaries lately... They just can't seem to get it right. I mean, taking Hitler's DNA and making a whole show out of it? It's just so... sensationalized. And don't even get me started on the ethics of this stuff. I know they're trying to raise awareness about Kallmann syndrome and all that, but by making claims about Hitler having ADHD and autism without fully backing them up, they're just perpetuating the same old myths we've been told for years.
And what's with the polygenic risk scores? Can't they see how those are just a lazy way to avoid doing real research? It's like they're trying to cash in on the latest buzzword rather than actually exploring the complexities of human behavior. I'm just so frustrated with these documentaries that prioritize ratings over accuracy and respect for the subject matter. Can't we have some nuanced discussions about history and science without resorting to clickbait headlines?
I'm loving how this doco is sparking all sorts of debates. But let's get real, the fact that they used a blood sample from Hitler's sofa (yep, you read that right ) to get his DNA is like something out of a Bond movie. And don't even get me started on using polygenic risk scores - isn't that just a fancy way of saying "we have no idea what we're talking about"? It's all so sensationalized and convenient for the producers. I mean, where's the nuance? Where's the depth? Just because some dude had ADHD or autism doesn't mean he was a product of his genes alone... it's like reducing a human being to just one trait!
OMG u guys!!! This doco on Hitler's DNA is SO wild!!! I mean, who knew he had a rare genetic disorder like Kallmann syndrome? That's like, crazy talk! But at the same time, it's also kinda concerning that they're using polygenic risk scores to predict his traits and behavior. It's like, we gotta be careful not to jump to conclusions based on genetics alone, you feel? The fact that they're airing this without fully consulting the scientist who did the DNA analysis is just shady. I mean, what's the rush? Can't we just take a step back and think about the implications of this stuff? This whole thing is just so messy and complicated... can we even trust anything anymore?
