Westermarck effect. The Westermarck effect, or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to later sexual attraction.
This phenomenon, one explanation for the incest taboo, was first hypothesized by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891). Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biological-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children were reared somewhat communally in peer groups, based on age, not biological relation. Contrasting Westermarck and Freud[edit] Genetic sexual attraction. Genetic sexual attraction (GSA) is sexual attraction between close relatives, such as siblings or half-siblings, a parent and offspring, or first and second cousins, who first meet as adults.[1] The term was coined in the US in the late 1980s by Barbara Gonyo, the founder of Truth Seekers In Adoption, a Chicago-based support group for adoptees and their new-found relatives.[2] Contributing factors[edit] Heredity produces substantial physical and mental similarity between close relatives.

Foundation 20 // Elon Musk. Google Ventures Blog — Foundation Video: Episode 20 with Elon Musk. Google Ventures Blog — Some unconventional investing rules. Before I became a VC in 2009, I was an active angel investor for about ten years.
During that time, I got exposed to the age old debate about the relative importance of team, market and product when making an investment decision. People always argued about these things (and probably always will). Some say the most important factor is market because team and product can always change, but if the market and the tailwinds are big enough, a company can make many mistakes and thrive. Others argue for team because a great team in a mediocre market will change markets. Still others argue for product, especially in today’s age where word-of-mouth is so easy to spread through social media. 500 Chrome Experiments and counting...
