Yesterday’s thoughts on attitude got me thinking. If “Attitude is innate”, what is a human?

I kind of thought of a recipe…

One dollop of genetics that bakes in some innate attitude; and limits several aspects of our design;

several thousand dollops of influences from people, environment, experiences to learn from, and things we know;

zillions of things that we don’t know;

a combination of the above leading some kind of continous sprinkling of action in different contexts that lead to learning and practice;

and inaction and non-action in several other contexts;

add in billions of interactions with other humans with chokeful of biases and judgement without any real data

mix it is up with a liberal dose of reality and randomness; and us adapting around those constantly;

and that is a human life…
