What we call intelligence seems to be heritable to an extent, and we do all share instincts and even Jungian archetypes. All suggest that we each arrive with a "mother matrix" of experience-patterned structure (not just repeating basic units). For another example, consider the genius an infant requires to acquire and decode an entire modern language.

I surmise that that's the "nature" part, and what emerges is the "nurture" part. But these are all just potshots in the dark. Passing our eventual understanding on to faster machines with better retention seems suicidal.
