Every mind starts relatively empty, until it encounter objects ,etc...
What came first, do they need each other to grow?

You wouldn't say it alters any mind that doesn't observe the object.
Alteration requires the receipt of sense data, followed by the mind's
processing.
It's understandable that we talk that way: "Michelangelo's 'Moses"
changed my
life." But the 'Moses" is inert. It does not act, it does nothing.
"Contemplating the 'Moses' changed my life," is more like it.
Mando's second line hits it: "Every new experience transforms the
mind a
little." It's the experience, what goes on in the head -- not the
object
that
occasions the experience.
