How does a "symbolic boundary" shift the fundamental nature of social reality? Again, what mechanism? What peer reviewed sources can you cite to show that it "makes everything simpler" (and how would that be measured)?
Is the ecosystem important or is it meaningless? I think so, but it could be destroyed in an instant and the universe wouldn't blink. Meaning is in the mind and you will never measure it. You'll have to let go of nihilism to appreciate this. You are sacred, but your cup is full.

Well, Im not a nihilist, so that will be easy. You've also proved the point. Meaning is subjective. Therefore you cant say that rituals that have no objective meaning, that myself and many others think are meaningless, are somehow fundamental to society.

Haha ok. Well thanks for the convo. Ultimately, I do think marriage is good for society because it says the mating pair is sacred. I hope you at least agree that the integrity of the mating pair, on a cultural level, has effects that ripple through time - that's objective. Cheers
