I'm certainly interested in cognitive mechanisms underlying it but I'm more interested in language & attitudes & ideology affecting culture.
We can tell ppl they shouldn't make these connections & that they don't work but ultimately what's interesting is that they do & why they do

Sure, but you can only understand that if you formulate the best hyp. It is the growth of knowl. that is interest. Not 1 part of the process
-
I don't think you can tell people what they should find interesting. It won't change what they actually do find interesting.

Its way more important whether people are right or wrong to think what they do but for me the interest is in understanding how they think.

This is why I focus on how women thought about religion, the connections they made & use they made of it even tho God seems not to exist
-
Yes, but you still want to know if what you are thinking about that topic resembles anything real. So, you need to test-reject-accept hypo.
-
I do, yes, but even tho I think God is not real, I've still spent 20 years looking at how people think about God because that is interesting
