Tabula rasa

[Michel de Montaigne]

What are your thoughts about this? Is it like an empty sheet when human comes to earth?

[Mpamaegbu]

Of course the theory of Tabula Rasa is correct. Take babies for instance and how they gradually learn from people what they never knew.

The theory of Tabula Rasa has been proven to be false.

Babies are hard wired to feel jealously, for example.  It is not a learned trait.  The baby that cried the loudest got the most attention and was most likely to survive.

Babies also know to hold their breath underwater from birth.  Explain where they learn that from?

It seems to me that this is just an instinct of self-preservation. This is a protective reaction of the organism. I do not need to teach it because it is the knowledge on the genetic level is fixed

[Michel de Montaigne]

The living begin to learn from the mother's womb. When babies are in their womb they are affected by the sounds they hear from the outside world.
For me it is not possible for a person to come to earth like an empty plate. As soon as we start to breathe, we start to learn something.
