i don't think he meant them to be conscious, though. usu. when people suggest some sort of 'computational mind' or whatever (that phrase i stole from generativism, not geertz), it's to explain unconscious behaviors... anyway, different theorists have different ways of dealing with the individual (it was like one of 'the problems of anthropology' that boas outlined). i like bourdieu's habitus, personally, and i think that even though he uses it in a more sociological than psychological manner, the concept doesn't prevent a more complete synthesis of the two.
