Study after study has shown both personality and intelligence have large genetic components. When you sire kids with Billy Badass instead of Dudley Do-Right, it should be no surprise that you get Billy Badass, Jr. as a kid. If you have entire communities doing this, you end up with outlaw communities. The best parenting in the world, the best teachers in the world, and the most well-funded school systems will not change this.

Great post, spot on. Over the course of several centuries, these genetic components become more pronounced with almost laughably predictable results visible across multiple cultural and geographical contexts. They're out-of-the-box features, not bugs. Dysfunctional culture (which magnifies these behavioral traits) is a byproduct of heritable genetic traits, not the other way around.
