[SpeakingUp]

The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.

Pretty functional definition except for this part:

"...and thought."

I think there is a chicken-and-egg problem here.

And I think you probably are very cultured to be able to think. /LOL

Perhaps it means productive thought, positive thoughts, non PC thought?

I was thinking more of the way the totality of our socially transmitted worldview influences our individual perceptions, and therefore, our individual thoughts.

What say you?
