There is so many philosophical questions in modern age, why are we still so suck in religion? It is a powerful instrument of motivation and inspirations, but completely useless when applying to deprecated fairy tales. Where is modern shamans, lainpunks, in_computer_uploaders with deep, logical and easy to believe worldviews? It is so beautiful and helpful to have something big and mysterious in your life, but it must be not stupid for start. Worshiping catgirls is not enough, I want meaningful rituals and traditions.

They are out there somewhere.
Anyway the "modern" philosophy is deeply tied into materialism, so the mystery begins in the irrational belief (!) that everything consists of the smaller parts.
>I want meaningful rituals and traditions
Ehhhhhhhhhhh~…
Well… Symbols don't appear out of nowhere. You could make something up but some people have to use it. Anyway one could say the imageboard communication is the culture of its own, with some innate symbols to it, though maybe mostly tied into the larger culture of online forums in general.
Anyway one of the somewhat dominating (still) "modern cultures" is the counter-culture of the 60s. Beat, Hippie, etc. It's pretty stupid, but it showed a great shift in the culture of the West, the culture of control and dominance once. The West became more laid-back.
>>11778 Because they had to kill religion to replace it with liberalism just like they killed religion in communist countries to replace it with communism.The rituals and religions of the past existed because the people in power pushed them.
>>11779 They are useless without discussions, improvement and publishing.
Materialism is just fine, uploading in artificial brain is pretty real thing, but open for any kind of speculations, including constructive and motivational ones. But when modern shamans have The Great Web - Internet, they still try to believe in The World Tree or something like that. I expect things to be more... urban.
>>11781 Ah, conservative puppet, same thing as liberal puppet - don't know what he fighting for. White christian nationalists ruled by same masters as SJWs in one big orchestrated conflict, spare me from repeating this conversation. Also, communism can be a good religion about bright future and united mankind, but without all this propaganda about strong leader, party, army and other etatism.
>completely useless when applying to deprecated fairy tales.
That's not exactly true. Our basis for writing/screenwriting came from myths. See Joseph Campbell.
>>11778 >I want meaningful rituals and traditions.
Epub related is Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton. Read it, it should help you decide if religion is something you want.
