I is WE
Homo sapiens brains are highly socially constructed brains as compared with the
brains of other animals - qualitatively differently constructed. Culture and
language are an emergent level of organization of reality from biological
reality . Human selves are cultural-tradition -custom constructed selves . I
stand on the shoulders of giants -Isaac Newton """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
" “Men make
their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it
under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already,
given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations
weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living”"""""""""""""""""""""""
