> > David: We are what we have become through our own inventions for our career in life. I know it is more complicated than that. I've opened up a little of mine as a background to the discussion you are beginning. Lead on!

> Matt: I'm hesitant here... I don't agree that our career does, or should play such a prominent role in who we are as humans. This is because my career, puts me at odds thinking about all the ways a person can negatively affect society and attack other human beings.-I understand your reluctance, but I can't escape my background as a body mechanic and how it influences my thinking about evolution. Shapiro's approach to the read-write cell functions, ventures into your area of expertise, and so your background might influence your interpretations.

> Matt: I think placing that much faith in one's occupation is more room to try and neglect your own perspectives of life based on your career... kind of off topic, but I think we ought to avoid our career's insights here, as opposed to embracing them. -I don't see how you can escape it, unless you are more compartmentalized than I am.
