In spite of the cultural challenges this type of tradition is presented with, do you see any other way forward?

It does depend on who you ask. I am learning: if you ask people w/ some degree of realization this type of chatter falls to the wayside.

Apologies if that came off as a slight. I do not mean it that way. I am serious. People who I judge as "realized" are the least dogmatic.
