Today we are talking about culture and why it matters less than what people think, especially when it comes to reading human behavior. Understanding culture is laboriously slow, heavily nuanced, and in today’s world of mass communication and global connectivity humans have the ability to choose what culture they belong to. The human behavior principles that we discuss rely on human behavior characteristics which demonstrate intent. Culture can create idiosyncratic displays, rites, and rituals that have no or nominal bearing on threat prediction and hostile intent determination. So we feel that culture only matters as context, providing increased granularity with which to support one’s evidence-based conclusions. For this episode we used the after action review we wrote about a government research project we were involved with a couple years ago where we had to show the efficacy and utility of our intent-based predictive analysis program. If you would like to read more about that program as well as the entire paper we wrote you can find it on the Arcadia Cognerati patreon page.Thank you so much for tuning in, we hope you enjoy the episode and if you want more you can check out our Patreon channel where we have a lot more content as well as subscriber only episodes of the show.
