The Art of Cognition

Memories are the material of culture and culture is based on the difference between what we have previously experienced and what actually is being perceived at the moment.

Culture encompasses a set of values, beliefs, and behavior, passed from one generation to the next.

Human culture emerges when memory and perception do not entirely coincide, and we experience the difference as reality.
