While what we learned wasn't always the most beneficial to our development (Roadrunners recognize and can escape elaborate traps funded by the ACME Corporation) there were plenty of items that weaseled their way into our general psychology and helped shape our views of the world. It couldn't be helped. You are a product of your environment; how you disseminate that information is a whole different topic.
