Anyone have a decent grasp on animism? I'm curious whether the animist *worldview* can be analyzed apart from its *worship practices.*

@KevinSimler I think animism is inherent & ineradicable in our psyches - just have to look for it (computers have spirits and intention) -
@sarahdoingthing yes, this I believe too. But I want to separate that from worship/costly signaling/social cohesion. Is that dangerous? - 10 more replies

@sarahdoingthing you've mentioned the Pirahã before... as the culture that does the least amount of abstraction? -
@KevinSimler supposedly - interesting that their disbelief basically made Everett lose his Christian faith but they interact with spirits
