By looking at Wallace’s usage of “Default Setting”‚ we can see that their is ambiguous meaning but chiefly it is referred to as a quality that people are cursed with‚ which most readers don’t see; this is important because Wallace speaks on the notion that people are selfish and don’t consider how others feel‚ and

    Prototype Theory Rosch (1976) has proposed an alternative to the view that concepts are com¬posed from sets of features which necessarily and sufficiently define instances of a concept.
