I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Some people overcome the influence of experience via experience? The only way I see anyone that could be unaffected by experiences is if they had no long term memory, or their brain wasn't plastic at all.

The brain is always changing, The environment and experiences do that to the brain. We didn't survive this long as a race by ignoring and not being influenced by experiences.
