"Biologically primary/secondary knowledge" seems like a useful heuristic, but as our brains are sensemaking organs, the distinction between primary/secondary is a vast oversimplification, ie, where does "number sense" end and "math" begin? www.scientificamerican.com/article/babi...

It's interesting to contrast the relative success of anti-war extreme metal bands around WW1/interwar themes of political injustice, inequality, & human devastation compared to the romanticization and glorification of war by bands like, say, Sabaton: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKdG... #MetalSky
