Partially. If weŕe using computer metaphors, I think that stating that ´culture is your software´ would be more accurate. Your operating system would be your apriori self. You cannot change this. The software you run (in this case culture) is limited by preconceived notions that cannot be changed (operating system). You can upgrade your software (change believes) but only to the extent that your operating system will allow (apriori self). Though I agree with Mckenna, I think the extent of the changes we can make are very limited.
Or maybe I´m looking at this too much from a kantian perspective. (damn epistemology) lol

As a die hard linux user of 15 years I disagree. I think the operating system analogy works beautifully.

powerful talk, but i don't agree with it. it precipitates an us-versus-them mentality.
