How much of that can we change? Some of it, I think.
How much of that are we stuck with? Some of it, I think.
Given that we are stuck with some of it, to what extent is it meaningful to think about generating, considering, or enacting other perspectives? It seems that any perspective we attempt to take on can only be taken on partially, and always within a context constrained by whichever parts of our perspective we can't willfully change.

Thoughts: In response to "it seems that any perspective we attempt to take on can only be taken on partially" As one person, we each will always be able to only take on a partial perspective, yes? Therefore, could it be said that communicating and understanding (granted, that too is only partially possible) others is a fundamental requirement in order to obtain a greater understanding? Granted, yes, me, one person, even left in a box, will form a perspective based on your list and yes, some if it I could change, some of it I couldn't, BUT, regardless, wouldn't enacting other perspectives be a requirement? Actually, are people even physically capable of not forming them? Even if one factors in that our perspectives are limited by existing in a context 'constrained by whichever parts of our perspective we can't willfully change' there is also the concept that change itself is constant. The parts we cannot change, will change on their own, or at the very least, our understanding of them will, therefore we are forced to take on a new perspective, yes? Just a thought. :)
