Reply to comment by GingerMau in Today I learned Tabula rasa (blank slate) is the theory that individuals are born without built-in mental content and therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception, which is in direct contrast to Innatism which is the idea that the mind is born with ideas, knowledge, and beliefs. by St3v3nMS3

You can see it in sports as well. Some kids just get it instinctively. Like Messi or Ronaldinho. They just demolish their playgrounds with skills 10 levels about their peers.

Some kids learn how to play instruments 10x quicker than some other. Tabula Rasa theory is a nice theory that aims to fight class distinctions (you are rich and powerful not because you were born different /better but because you had environment that enabled this. The slave next door would do just as well if he had the same opportunities). But in reality, it's definitely not true.
