Exactly what I think. Imprinting is huge in the animal world. Geese think anything is their mom if they imprint during a certain time period.

Plus we are pretty sure the mind builds software programs and the unconscious actually does most of our thinking, even driving a car.

So we are born with a basic hardware set up and then layers of softwart are piled on. We use all the operating systems at once and that even includes at times seeing the world through the eyes of a lizard!

So the only thing we change are, software progams to our basic intellectual structure, which is probably a pre programmed quantum computer and really fucking powerful.

I think we can get "imprinted" with beliefs just like we get "imprinted" with language at certain ages.
