Interestingly, most cognitive scientists would argue that the way worldview is culturally constructed is by means of embodied cognition and cultural reproduction: https://map.bloomfire.com/posts/2117448-embodied-cognition
This ends up producing a structural mirror image of the explicit/implicit contrast in the first iceberg model below. This may be due to the different levels of analysis, but is also due to the fact that we do not yet recognize the pervasive nature of embodied cognition. The second image avoids some of this confusion by making the seen/unseen contrasts more specifically explicit.
