As I way saying to strangedave last night, and as I ranted a while back, I think we're all essentially indwellings of our culture: the zeitgeist in flesh. Of course, we're not passive puppets, so our genetics and our individual experience strongly influence how we manifest the spirit of the times; but in the absence of this near-immortal memetic operating system, we're little more than chemical machines.
