From Wikipedia:
Tabula rasa is the epistemological thesis that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that their knowledge comes from experience and perception. Generally proponents of the tabula rasa thesis favour the “nurture” side of the nature versus nurture debate, when it comes to aspects of one’s personality, social and emotional behaviour, and intelligence. The term in Latin equates to the English “blank slate” (which refers to writing on a slate sheet in chalk) but comes from the Roman tabula or wax tablet, used for notes, which was blanked by heating the wax and then smoothing it to give a tabula rasa.
Of course, this debate has since taken a different route as put forth here by the inimitable Evelyn Fox Keller. All quite interesting enough.

Your's truly hanging out in Bar Harbor yesterday
I spent the day yesterday walking around
Bar Harbor with some very good pals. Walking and talking, we putzed around the tide pools, took some stills, skipped some stones and took in the area’s beautiful scenery and fresh ocean air. We toured
Acadia National Park and spent some time at the top of
Cadillac Mountain, the best vantage point around. The people were as colorful as the trees – old and young, indigenous and imported. Mingling amongst the shops, restaurants and pubs made for a day of colors, smells and flavors that definitely matched the cool, breezy fall season.
