I am fully conscious then that the ease with which I travel forward is due to eons of evolutionary adaptation. In my own defense, a child in a water slide does not feel as limitation the railing which constricts sideward potential, for it is distracted by joy, the sensations of velocity, by danger, and by the fulfillment of the potential manifested below. Neither of the two explanations was ever refuted as much as the two were shown, in the end, not to have been opposed to each other after all. Science is not without its own irony. 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.
