Normal, new-born Infants are the most-intelligent Beings on the face of the
planet. The fact that their nervous systems are "not fully-developed" at
birth, not-withstanding. Their spurt of rapid development is =Learning= at its
Life's time extreme.

Sorrowfully, Infants are soon subjected to the only-haphazardly-accumulated
view on "human nature" that's been blindly handed down over the course of the
millenia, and this assault on their in-born capacity for Learning quickly
takes its toll, Sorrowfully.

Forgive me, please, for interjecting this here. I'd like to see this set of
things "turned around". ken collins
