        Oh wow, fascinating! Furthermore: do we perceive things in hierarchic ways because of culture? I really liked how The Geography of Thought asked this question https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044R96OQ/

        Garfield is a cat and doesn't have a job. The only ostensible difference between Monday and any other day is that Jon suddenly isn't around after having been home all weekend. Garfield doesn't hate Mondays, he loves Jon and is too proud to say it.
