Dan Michaes Says

Somewhere around 1983, Hubel and Wiesel from Harvard University won the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that the central visual systems (ie, cortical, not retinal) in immature mammalian brains are able to **modify** their internal organization based upon early visual experience. If you present horizontal bars only to them, they have difficulty later seeing vertical. And vice versa. Etc/etc.

It only requires a few weeks of experience during the critical period of early out-of-the-womb development to accomplish this, and is related only to that "young brains are very maleable", and to **NOTHING** more.

In relationship to the survival of the individual regardless of the environment it is born into, this scheme is vastly superior to any kind of hardwiring. [this also explains why it's so much more fun to play with self-modifying code, as opposed to the hard-wired kind].
