“Who can say if the thoughts you have in your mind as you read these words are the same thoughts I had in my mind as I typed them? We are different, you and I, and the qualia of our consciousnesses are as divergent as two stars at the ends of the universe.
​
And yet, whatever has been lost in translation in the long journey of my thoughts through the maze of civilization to your mind, I think you do understand me, and you think you do understand me. Our minds managed to touch, if but briefly and imperfectly.
​
Does the thought not make the universe seem just a bit kinder, a bit brighter, a bit warmer and more human?
​
We live for such miracles.”​

The nature-nurture debate is central to Learning and Development.

How much of each of us is prewired?

Various studies demonstrate that many aspects of our personalities are hugely inherited. Here self-discipline is shown as greatly down to genes:
