Anyone have a decent grasp on animism? I'm curious whether the animist *worldview* can be analyzed apart from its *worship practices.*

@KevinSimler I think the costly signaling stuff is built on a cognitive framework of the tendency to see intention and minds everywhere
@sarahdoingthing You might be right, but I don't see the connection b/t the two. Can certainly do costly signals w/o positing spirits.

@sarahdoingthing What line do you draw from "seeing intentions and minds everywhere" to costly signaling group-loyalty behaviors? -
@KevinSimler maybe nothing more than building on a pre-existing framework - the best connection is your "absent node" thing - 4 more replies

@KevinSimler I agree they're not inextricably connected - autists who don't see minds everywhere can still do costly signaling just fineThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
