Not Lindy - meaning new myths have to constantly keep up with the newer, shinier myths year after year.

This is a thought provoking question I'll think on. But we also should not fall for the assumption that past myths once upon a time were a sufficient source of meaning. The well of meaninglessness is deep.

not a complete answer, but criticism is easier and more interesting than the long and tedious work of myth building. You can have a lone critic but you can't build myths without major social and historic scaffolding.

At some point in any coherent myth, there's a certain Wittgensteinian ladder-retraction, some leap of faith. We all *kind of* know this deep down but most of us don't want to admit it. But it'a easy (and fun) for an energetic critic to isolate that leap and attack it.
