>What if you were born to a Saudi Arabian family? What are the chances you would be a Muslim, possibly signifigantly conservative, you wouldn't like the TV shows and music you currently like, your goals would be drastically different because the culture has different socially sanctioned versions of success, etc.....
Yes, if both my genome and my upbringing were different, I would be a different person.
Is this really insightful? Where is the insight, for those seeing insight here?

Its interesting because we consider ourselves static entities shaping our environment. Our env is equally shaping us. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_self http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_self
