I really like how you have
I certainly find it appealing to consider the possibility that risky behavior and the experience of imagination (as opposed to more rational behavior and reality-focused thought) could be attributable to something unexplainable by biology or the environment. Stories of heroes and artists who have been culturally idealized often emphasize their ability to overcome great odds against them as presented by their biological makeup (like disabilities) or by their backgrounds/cultures/environments (like being really poor or marginalized). I think people prefer to believe that their behaviors and identities are greater than the physical reality of their brains and world. Such movies as Gattaca and Dark City have explored this concept and I provide examples of this desire to believe in the existence of something greater than genetics and experience (environmental input) in explaining identity and behavior.
