Hokay, take someone at birth, blind 'em and deafen them, and try to get
cultural behavior out of them.
I totally agree that behavior is dependent upon an active brain. But I
also don't need meme-ories within it to produce _cultural behavior_. I
just raise them within an external culture. They will get memories,
their language will happen, they will become social, and they will
perform culturally.
