How does culture relate to society? If we see society as a mind, then culture is its self (a somewhat fictitious notion of what it is and wants, used for regulation), and media is its consciousness (representations of ideas it attends to and makes generally available).

I’d say culture is more like society’s personality, though perhaps that’s similar to what you meant by “self”. Re: media, I find it fascinating the way gifs are used to communicate... cultural fragments that are repurposed to encapsulate complex meanings.pic.twitter.com/PcX115VxFv

Sorry, not sure exactly what you mean... is that in response to my mention of cultural fragments? Or are you saying society is fragile?

Both. It seemed to me the media doesn't help to (fragile) society too much.

Isn’t a model of a model just a model?

The primary model is what you experience as reality. Knowledge is what you experience as ideas and abstractions about reality: it's a secondary model.

Ahh. So these are kind of nested models of primary / secondary processing of sensory inputs?
