"A child never writes his own alphabet. A seed does not grow, it needs soil, water, and radiant energy. A sailboat does not sail, it's shoved by the wind. Nothing in nature is self-activating." - Jacque Fresco
We claim to be self-made, to be "born that way", yet we all have accents.
But not just accents of speech, accents of action (the surfer learning to skate will skate with a 'surfing accent': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Boys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Boys), accents of thought (many of us are familiar with the archetypal poor person in a difficult environment which imprints a 'roof could fall in at any moment' mentality, who then becomes rich yet remains in that frugal mindset), accents permeating every atom of behavior we exhibit.
Why are we drawing a line around speech and saying "accents only develop here... everywhere else, we can be totally original or totally genetically talented!"
The mind is fashioned by what it feeds on.
