Which Mr L to choose????

Locke said, Tabula Rasa it is. A blank piece of marble ready to be engraved by Environment. Words worth said, yep, it is marble indeed , to retain. But to mould, it's like wax.

Leibniz, my dearest Leibniz didn't change words too much. Just added an adjective and turned the metaphor on its head He said , all right marble it is, but am telling you, the marble is veined.

Nativism, fills all the missing blanks , for me. But then how much infallibility should i ascribe to it. Especially when to be so deterministic could mean to accept inequality.
