and what does that mean. emotional preferences could mean that they are
sensitive or prone to depression. intellectual tendencies could mean
that both twins are quick to jump to conclusion and make inferrences
(like you ;-) ideas are not passed genetically. more specifically,
naziism is not passed genetically.

sure, similar emotional tendencies to hitler would perhaps make the
clone a social leader and perhaps easily influenced by hatred, but it
wouldnt not make the hitler clone be a nazi. emotional tendencies from
ones environment could mean that if one was raised by people who were
abusive when they got angry, that they too would be abusive when angry
(people whos parents beat them might beat their children...)

unless the hitler clone lived in the SAME environment, surrounded by the
same people, doing the EXACT SAME things, and becoming host to the SAME
memes... and that EVERYONE and EVERYTHING were the same as they were 70
years ago it is HIGHLY unlikely that hitlers clone would become the
leader of the fourth reich (hehehe).
