I'm not sure if we are in a position to lightly dismiss the idea of a
"collective memory" and or "a forgotten paradise".

whatever an individual makes of it when s/he sees a nice looking sunset,
surely s/he is drawing that feeling of sensation (or whatever) from a pool
of knowledge that is ultimately shared by those in the same community or
humanity as a whole?


Are strong feeling of patriotism... and all that it entails something that
is learnt or is some of it already latent in some cultures?
