ok one more:

all humans have speech, all humans walk on two legs (there are exceptions of course). such are not inventions.

but some cultures have theatre and others not, some cultures have advance math and other don't, some cultures have empirical science and others don't. these are inventions.

to say otherwise would imply some sort of platonic paradigm where everything that we learn or discover or invent is simply remembrance from a world of ideas-- and i don't buy that.

ok, laters.
