I'm not sure that's entirely true We make predictions about social systems too And there's a lot of faith about the generalizability of our predictions

-
Honestly, I just meant that when grouping things together, even if the grouping points to something interesting and important it can also blur another important distinction - and that's what I think happens when we call secular meaning-making frameworks religions.
-
By the way, we could use a good term for meaning-making-framwork, that does not have negative connotations (like ideology) or supernatural-ritual connotations (like religion). I'm out of ideas though.
-
That's not what I have in mind - metaphor is more like a meaning-making tool - you use one metaphor to get one meaning across. I mean something like an ideological background, a lens, a meaning making ecosystem.
-
right, I see what you're getting at. what is the system that produces and distributes metaphors? I would use the word "culture", but that is probably too broad. The term might be too in-group or esoteric, but memetosphere has some appeal to me as an ecological model.
