Here we are, entering the theater of the twenty-first century, only to find ourselves scratched off of the billing of our own drama. Reality is one thing. One does not therefore choose sides between subject and object. Here, I parse a few more sentences. Nature is the narrow corridor, nurture is the forward or backward potential already set into motion by the existence of that corridor.
Nature is the template.
Similarly, I find that the existence of the human machine does not therefore refute the function of that machine. There is nothing I can do about the inheritance of these mechanisms nor about the blindness which they imply. I also admit to the existence of other parts to the perception machine. In analogy, if I were to trace a thread from one end of a tapestry to the other, I could not say that because of my focused attention other threads were not present. I understand that as I do this I necessarily exclude many other parts essential to the complete perception machine.
