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”""""""""""""""""""""""" https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1852/18th-brumaire/ch01.htm .
