  1. To your number 2 question:
    How much spacial knowledge is needed to live everyday life?

    Technically I feel what you want to be asking is how much nurture do we need in our life compared to the nature we are already born with? This is obviously a hotly debated item. However, I believe it is a balance of both that makes them apparent. Just as in baking bread; you can have your dry ingredients, but without the wet, you will get no where in baking your bread! And clearly that runs vise versa. I feel that not even Tuan knew what exactly he was talking about when he was referring to spacial knowledge or place. They are such broad and many angled ideas. It depends on how you look at it.
