      A theme park (http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2015/08/06/frontierland/ …) is a myth made flesh, or at least a myth made mortar. A wonderful thing!

      Ritual is a myth enacted.

      The pernicious Protestant/Enlightenment "sincerity orientation" (https://meaningness.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/ritual-vs-mentalism/ …) bans myth. This has been a cultural disaster.

      Childhood was a loophole in the ban on myth. Children are allowed fairy stories, but must grow out of them.

      Postmodernity has weakened enforced sincerity, and myth-like genres relegated to childhood in modernity now dominate adult narrative.

      Superhero, fantasy, and scifi films are a resurrgence of myth. Explicit acknowledgement might enable more serious, more adult mythology.

      Allowing adult mythology could open the door to adult ritual and adult theme parks. But what myths do we wish to enact?

      Adult mythology is now allowed, but only as “entertainment,” which deliberately encapsulates and emasculates it.

      Joseph Campbell and Jungians advocated adult mythology, but Romanticism was their only resource against Protestant/Enlightenment sincerity

      Romanticism has its own “self-expression” sincerity theme, which is also pernicious, so Jungian myth mostly leads nowhere good

      I’d like to believe that a sufficiently deep understanding of the Romanticism-vs-Enlightenment dual could lead to something better than both

          I will stop blathering now. You can see why it’s a good thing I don’t have a blog.
