That is true of the personal unconscious.

But this does appear to resemble an unconscious mind born fully formed, although probably not from the head of Zeus.

Is this a third sociological principle that has a mythological analogy?

As I understand it, adults with a fully formed unconscious, unconsciously impart the contents of their unconscious to children. Children grow to adulthood and unconsciously pass the contents of their unconscious to the next generation. And so forth. Is that an accurate description?

Since each individual’s personal experiences are unique, the content of each individual’s personal unconscious is unique.

If personal unconscious thought is instilled by culture and unconscious thought governs “free” will and free will constructs culture, we have discovered another chicken-egg infinite regression.

It cannot truly be a case of infinite regression, it must have an origin since the human species is not infinite but has an origin. Does unconscious thought produce culture, or does culture produce unconscious thought?

Not all psychologists concur with your description of the role of unconscious thought:

I believe there is a term for non-self-aware people: sheeple.
