I have not yet contributed anything worth noting but I have the basic capacity for it, the capacity to understand and to use my understanding, and that is what constitutes the difference between me and a Bushman living in a state limited to mere sensual existence.
You got me there, but may I ask something what if i took a Bushmen child brought him up in say a family with say $360 000 per annum, he is third child, I bet you he would get great grades, great degree with encouragement and exposure, and being allowed to be an engineer something he would not even be interested in had he grown up with the his Bushmen kith and kin. Could not the Bushmen like you learn to use his capacities without the culture., Just asking not arguing.
