Speaker 0 (0s): Welcome back, everyone. Welcome back to number two of 2021. The true life podcast. 

Speaker 1 (10s): Things 

Speaker 0 (11s): Are really heating up out there. Am I right? It's getting nuts with the Colvin. I'm out here in Hawaii and I just witnessed the storming of the congressional houses. Wow. What a year? It's going to be anybody, anybody invested in Bitcoin telling you that's the move? I think pretty sure that's the move. I think if you have a little bit of extra now is the time to start putting your future into the new monetary system, which I think is big 

Speaker 1 (48s): Coin. Why am I opening up with this? Because of me 

Speaker 0 (52s): Getting into Culture today's talk podcast is going to be about Man in Culture 

Speaker 1 (1m 3s): We're at 

Speaker 0 (1m 3s): A pivotal point right now, I believe in 2021. Isn't it, it seems that maybe 20, 21, I should have been the Mayan calendars 2012. Maybe it was Maybe. Things began to happen in 2012 and they've just been rapidly increasing. And now it's time. So when I talk about culture, let me break it down a little bit, kind of break the ice and move our way into what Culture is, how it influences us. 

Speaker 1 (1m 38s): And let me ask you this question. Do you think that for me, 

Speaker 0 (1m 42s): People can socially engineer and environment 

Speaker 1 (1m 47s): By changing 

Speaker 0 (1m 48s): The culture Can people shape the culture that shapes the behaviors of the people. 

Speaker 1 (1m 58s): Culture is the way that we are. 

Speaker 0 (1m 60s): Do you see and do things as a society? The term incorporates the social norms, values, traditions, knowledge and technology. I think technology is very persuasive. Food, language arts, there's tons of other things. It's an important 

Speaker 1 (2m 22s): Part 

Speaker 0 (2m 23s): Of the way. All of us experience our lives. Whether we stay at home or travel the world engaged with the latest news in political debates, or simply enjoy reading a good book or watching a good movie were actively engaging in the culture that surrounds us. There was a couple of quotes that I think will help kind of get the juices flowing Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear that's by Walter Littman Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs. 

Thomas Wolf, let us begin at the beginning, when you were brought up 

Speaker 2 (3m 10s): And in this world, 

Speaker 0 (3m 16s): The light and the doctor picks you up, picks you up by the feet and smacks your bottom. And you started crying from that day. We were brought in to this world in a helpless condition, the helpless condition of the new born human arises from the fact that it is neurological and muscular systems are largely undeveloped and uncoordinated. His nervous system is in particular is like a telephone system of a great city in which almost none of the connections from phone to phone or from phone to switchboard are closed. 

Speaker 2 (3m 54s): We were sorry. All circuits are busy. Please try again. Later. 

Speaker 0 (3m 58s): Of course, this comparison is by no means perfect for the human nervous system is much more complicated, much more adaptable and much faster than any telephone system. The human brain alone, as a kind of central switchboard has millions of neural connections. Other millions are distributed throughout the body the way in which these are connected up, or even the fact that they come to be connected up at all, depends on what happens to the child, how we use trained, how he grows. 

Speaker 2 (4m 35s): Okay, 

Speaker 3 (4m 37s): Well, we run, there is some industrial strength, electrical cable from the top of a clock tower down. So spending you get over on the street between these to lampposts, meanwhile, we don't have to fit in with the type of vehicle with this big pole and hook, which runs directly into the flux capacitor at the calculator. The moment you start off down the street, driving directly to where the cable accelerated to 88 miles per hour, hoarding with a flier at a precisely 10:04 PM. This Saturday night, lightning will strike the clock tower, electrifying the cable just as a connecting hook, makes contact thereby sending one point 21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor and sending you back to 1985. 

Speaker 0 (5m 18s): The things he is capable of becoming originally we will speak of as his potentiality is the things he does become as the result of experience and training we can speak have, as actualities pretend nothing about that, there is a two differences. There are the, some of his potential realities. We're going to call a human nature while the sum total of his actualities we're going to call his human personality is quite clear that human nature potential quality's is very much wider than human personality actually developed qualities. 

Indeed, we might assume that everyone at birth or even at conception has the potentiality for being aggressive, submissive, selfish, generous cowardly, or brave masculine or Finland pugnacious, or peaceful, violent, gentle, and so forth. You get the picture and that, which of these potential qualities becomes actual or to what degree it does. 

So depends very largely on the way in which each person is trained or on the experiences he encounters, as he grows up. The fact that there are societies or tribes in which almost everyone is aggressive, like the Apaches and that there are other closely related tribes in which almost everyone is submissive like the Zuni and the fact that infant's taken from one such a tribe and read it in the other, grow up to have it in full measure. 

The typical characteristics of their adopted tribe would seem to indicate both that all such people are potentially about the same at conception and that their personalities are largely a consequence of the way in which they are reared. If this is so it is clear that the way in which people are brought up is a very important, I think that we can all agree with that. This is of course evident from the consideration already mentioned, namely, that humans are helpless at birth and must be cared for and trained during a period of many years, the way in which they are cared for. 

And train depends very largely on the personalities of the people whom they encounter as they are growing up. But these personalities, again, depend on the way in which these adults were reared. You beginning to see the relationship there in the cycle. Thus there appear in any society, certain patterns of action, 

Speaker 4 (8m 21s): Right? 

Speaker 0 (8m 21s): Certain patterns of belief and certain patterns of thought that are passed on from generation to generation, always slightly different, both from generation to generation and from person to person in any single generation, but possessing a recognizable pattern. This pattern depends not only on the way people are trained to act, to feel and to think, but also on the more concrete Man at the stations of their social environment, such as the kind of clothes they wear, the kind of shelter's in which they live, the kind of tools they have for making a living, the kind of food they eat and how they eat it, the kind of toys th...
