> Given your kids genes, the way you raise them, and their experiences, they're going to be a certain kind of adult. You don't have control over any of that as a parent, so relax and enjoy the ride.

you have control over TONS of that as a parent, specifically "the way you raise them" and a ton of their experiences.

your kid won't become an asshole due to "asshole genes" they might inherit from you, but if you act like an asshole around any kid, eventually they'll learn to become more of an asshole

likewise, nice personalities aren't inherited, they're developed after birth (ever hear a newborn say "thank you for my existence"? so rude!)
