Tuesday Question 🧬

How alive is your DNA?

You being alive represents +1.00 of your DNA

Each of your living parents, siblings, or children represents +0.50 of your DNA

Each of your grandparents or grandchildren represents +0.25 of your DNA

Apply the scores above to each of your living relatives and sum the total.

What is your score? 🤔

I score 3.0

Quite easy to chart your life and I suspect this is a strong predictor for life outcomes, happiness, depression, etc. This is a very grounding / reflective little exercise.

(Could do +0.125 relatives, but keeping it simple for now)
