When it would be so easy to just say 'This myth is important & meaningful to this group for these reasons but it's not true.'
It's not just myths though... He's knows you can't get an ought from an is... he wants to know how to find the oughts...
So do we all. I say it should be evidenced-based & worked out according to principles, not archetypes &narratives that are meaningful to ppl
What if a custom is critically important but no one really knows why
Then we say it's critically important but no-one really knows why. So easy. Don't need to confuse it with evidence-based knowledge.
No one necessarily knows it's important too though, I guess
Like the custom evolved cos it helped ppl, no one knows how or why or that it is so important, they just act like it is
If u demand everything make sense then ur liable to throw stuff like this out.Whether or not its comparable to literal truth is the question
I don't see that as a problem. If you don't know why you are doing something & can't see that it helps anything.
If you find it does help, you can either try to discover why or simply say 'This belief helps and we don't know why.'
