products of time-space
What is really frustrating to me is that we are all a product of our times whether or not we admit to it.
Our thoughts and habits seem like instincts that have been provoked by our times;
mostly socially-constructed. It is true that many great thinkers have managed to move past their lifetime but even they knew that they were a product of their particular environments and had they been born a few years later or earlier, their thoughts and analyses would have been totally different.
Anyway, that is just what I find really irritating, that we are eternally naive despite our most sincere attempts to be omniscient.
(Space is also another factor, and sometimes it is a determinant.)
But I don't have time to finish this thought right now, gotta go to school.
Will be back l8r.

product of the environment? maybe so. they say spatial awareness shapes your lateral thought processes. one is capable of advanced thought if one can see beyond one's environment. out the box so to speak. I think thats what the great thinkers had. space is a determinant.
