@St_Rev one of the deepest examples of this that I have seen is the cult of personality thing http://abandonedfootnotes.blogspot.com/2011/03/simple-model-of-cults-of-personality.html …pic.twitter.com/Beva0EfNVe

@St_Rev especially "This is true of all mechanisms that induce preference falsification, however: they prevent coordination." -
@St_Rev so when does sacredness induce preference falsification? is that perhaps its actual main job? can it be harnessed/moderated? -
@St_Rev coordination *by method of preference falsification* is hard to conceptualize but wow lol -
@St_Rev maybe it's not preference falsification so much as preference husbandry -
@sarahdoingthing Seems like preference falsification allows kinds of cohesion that would otherwise be impossible. -
@sarahdoingthing ie bad for people, bad for human goals, but seems really incredibly great for the egregore -
@St_Rev yes exactly!! biological or cultural items that can do that are going to reap rewards - 2 more replies

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing aiui it's also bc Islamic artworks & crafts tend to be thoroughly established & distinctively local traditions -
