Right. We don’t do a lot of “our” thinking ourselves. We aren’t individually sentient, not really. We don’t notice it, but the actual thinking is going on in our subcultures. The sad and funny thing is, we don’t even try to understand the cognition of our subcultures, when we research cognition.
I think I’m sentient. If you’re not sentient, I would surmise that you believe you’re lucky enough to be in a competent subculture—one self-aware enough to bring this realization to you.
Could one devise a series of experiments to show that individuals aren’t sentient, but “subcultures” are?
We do less thinking that we imagine, but we still think. However, I still argee (to a lesser extent) that (sub)cultures fixed many thoughts of many people.

I find 2 possible meaning of “we” here, but the sentence is false in both senses:
“We” = all of humanity: The “cognition of subcultures” sounds like half Anthropology and half Psychology, and I imagine it has been researched.
“We” = individuals, rationalists: If your goal is to think by yourself, it is minimally useful to understand how culture “think” for you. Knowing how to not let culture think for you is enough.
