So long time ago there was a Russian scientist who bred some foxes, he selected two groups. One for their aggression, and another for their friendiness.
The first group, likely did not became domesticated and were aggressive while the other group has became domesticated.
The experiment demonstrated that a low inhib, high inhib are genetic, so are confidence levels.
I thought it would somewhat connect to the blackpill idea of natural selection.

The experiment was initiated by scientists who were interested in the topic of domestication and the process by which wolves became domesticated dogs. They saw some retention of juvenile traits by adult dogs, both morphological ones, such as skulls that were unusually broad for their length, and behavioral ones, such as whining, barking, and submission.
In a time when centralized political control in the fields of genetics and agriculture promoted Lysenkoism as an official state doctrine, Belyayev's commitment to classical genetics had cost him his job as head of the Department of Fur Animal Breeding at the Central Research Laboratory of Fur Breeding in Moscow in 1948.[6] During the 1950s, he continued to conduct genetic research under the guise of studying animal physiology.
Belyayev believed that the key factor selected for in the domestication of dogs was not size or fertility, but behavior: specifically, tameability.[7] Since behavior is rooted in biology, selecting for tameness and against aggression means selecting for physiological changes in the systems that govern the body's hormones and neurochemicals.
Confidence, personality all that stuff are also genetic.
