Launching the Vectors of Mind podcast
Bit of a non sequitur, but dogs can definitely invent and maintain cultures adapted to a novel situation very fast. https://x.com/historyinmemes/status/1752969851923009644?s=46&t=MxjKGZ0xcO_edQX0W4Soig
Not sure this example constitutes "culture" per se but it is certainly mimicry that may be an attempt to comfort the handicapped dog. Maybe a proto-theory of mind.
Wow this is a substack crossover that I was not expecting but also so happy about seeing! Can't wait to listen to this properly in a couple of days
Great podcast! Keep it up!
Thanks! Now I have something to listen to while doing menial chores
Since then I've been thinking (and writing) lots about the date. Feel I can articulate a better answer now
