Fair is everyone getting what they need to succeed."

Genetics is a tool for seeing, what do people need

'We can achieve fairness just by treating every student

Art Goldberger was an economist in the 1970s,

and he was very critical of the idea that genetics

meant that something couldn't be intervened on.

that if you have a genetic predisposition

we've invested in developing a technology

that can help you see, and it's an environmental one,

and we apply it for as long as people need.

We don't give it to them for just one day and be like,

They get to have a sustained intervention.

I love the Goldberger example because it both shows

that genetically-influenced things can be changed

but also reminds us that the environments

They might not be able to be these kind of one-time nudges.

A lot of researchers, a lot of educators,

a lot of policy makers have great intentions,

our ability to actually pull off interventions

that make a positive difference is really disappointing.

Most of the things that we try in education,

make absolutely no difference in children's lives.

So that says that we need to improve our basic science.

All of our policies, all of our interventions

that suggests that our model of the world is wrong.

So I think genetics can be used as a tool

to improve our understanding of the way the world works,

auticon is this company that selectively recruits people

and deliberately designs the physical environment

and working environment to accommodate their neurodiversity.

So there aren't loud, fluorescent lights.

that depends on picking up on really subtle social cues-

everything, all the feedback is given back very explicitly.

What if we thought about our educational spaces

If 90% of children had ADHD and only 10% of children

Those are the sorts of thought experiments
