Cultural Cognition

I had thought before of the fact that literacy allowed a much more expansive cultural memory, but I hadn't reflected on the fact that maybe the difference between human cognition and lower primates is caused by our unique ability, even in pre-literate cultures, to pass information from one person to the next.

Certainly my eventual goal with the project, as an information security professional, is to teach non-experts how to identify phishing.  The project is about understanding the difference between how the two process phishing messages, but maybe looking at individuals is oversimplified.  Maybe experts don't merely individually process them differently it's part of the culture of being around other experts.
