@vgr@sarahdoingthing it's hard to completely disentangle ritual for caffeiene and alcohol from their functions. -
@davidmanheim@sarahdoingthing With sufficient disrespect, you can legibilize anything in non-trivial/useful ways.#authoritahFTW!

@vgr so consider water. you need it to live, but other than the past few decades it was pretty dangerous. -

@vgr@sarahdoingthing 2 axes for ritual:special & mundane.UK tea scores v highly on mundane but low on special. Tea in Japan v high on both. -
@vgr@sarahdoingthing Mundane ritual different from functional. Functional = I drink it just cuz I'm thirsty/I like the taste & that's it - Show replies
