Do you think A genius is born or made in school?
Well, I think that is about 50/50. I think people's genetics play a large part in a person's intelligence, but I believe it also essential to learn and become educated. What do you think?
I'm not sure. I have a baby due in December so I've been reading about Child development and how to give it the edge
Well, that's great and congratulations! I definitely think it's essential to have an education, regardless of the level of intelligence.
Thank you, It's a crazy experience. I've been reading a lot of Talcott Parsons books on the subject.
I don't really know that author. What have you learned?
The author is a sociologist of the classical tradition. He seems to think everything we do or will be is born into us
I can't say I necessarily agree with that concept, but I'm certainly no expert. I do believe that there are some things we are certainly born with from birth.
Jean Delville is the complete opposite. He says were born as a blank canvas. 
Well, I think we are mostly blank canvases, with splashes of color!
