What evidence is there to support this notion? All humans are born with distinct personalities, which determine how they will respond to parents/peers etc. Far from a blank slate.

Not born a blank slate, no. I've seen too much in a baby's eyes to believe that. Anyone who has spent time with babies would agree that
personalities are there from the start.

No i don't believe in Tabula Rasa. I like Jean Jacques Rousseau theory of Noble Savages-Naturally endowed with a sense of right and wrong with an innate plan for orderly, healthly growth. That make more sense with me. Children have a built-in moral sense of thinking and feeling that would only be harm by adult training.

for sure, people are born good, how? dude ask your self, once you have been a baby did u ever strategise a thank you to seize away a toy from the different baby, havnt you ever heard that a small baby is as harmless as God. to describe you, with an occasion from our time, a small baby is like an empty writeable CD, while its new its impartial, its upto us what we tutor him, it gets burned on CD, hence its the form of enviroment the baby is born determines his destiny.

No, we have many instinctual bahaviors. For example I belive we are inherently selfish. that is a survival instinct, learn and striving to be selfless is a spiritual excercise.
But I do not believe we are born godo or evil. that is a choice that is made.

no, humans like most mammals have instinct. also, once your hearing develops before you are born, you hear everything! im sure that has some effect on you before you are born! for instance, recognizing your mothers voice. i think its a combination of nature and nurture.

Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality". Suggests we are born with a cosmic total comprehensive that wanes as we mature: "fading clouds of glory". A nice kick.

I was always told (old wives tale im sure) that we are born with the secrets of the world. And the older we get, the more we forget them.
