I see where yr going with the microwave thing, but there's a significant difference between accepting ignorance in wave mechanics or whatever the fuck, and the all-too-common conception that another (wo)man's opinion is as good as yr own. I hear it everywhere, and it's nauseating. People with opinions of the French Student Protests, on Immigration Reform, in the War in Iraq, who are only aware of what other people think about these issues, and thru whatever indocrination they've recieved are somehow intuitively aware of which of these opinions they're most likely to agree with, and claim them as their own. I find it disheartening, that's all.

Fair enough. Where I see the problem is attempting to seperate you & indoctrination, others & indoctrination, the multiple sources of indoctrination, the history of indoctrination, the impossiblity of a taxonomy of influences, the likelehood of a 'pure' genetics programme, and whether 'wave mechanics'
is actually that unimportant.
Ultimately, I have nothing to say that I can be entirely sure is mine, and, worse still, being a Catholic I don't particularly want to lay claim to a radical, even a little bit, identity.
