8-bit philosophy

[dyresand]

a human in a since is a sort of computer. we are programmed by a small age and introduced to the human condition this brings up nature vs nurture. nature a child growing up with a pack of wolves would have the instincts of a wolf. nurture the child would be a relatively normal human being. if you take it away and were to put a child in front of a computer or have it taken care of by a sentient AI of sorts it would program the child to be like it cold and logically thinking.

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is what nature vs. nurture means. "Nature" means that human behavior is intrinsic to a human merely by being born a human-- so only the instincts which separate a human from the wolves would be called nature.

Being reared in a pack of wolves versus being reared normally among humans, the wolflike behavior would be a perfect example of the influence of nurture. The ability of the human to eventually dominate the pack due to its intelligence and opposable thumbs, a la Jungle Book, would be due to nature.
