Events to encourage social cohesion seem like an obviously good thing to me, and having them annually seems to be very helpful for people in consciously experiencing the passage of time. Grieving, spending a moment looking forward, stuff like that.
But some data would have been neat.
- agumonkey 5y agoI'm not fond of religion, wasn't raised in it but you know religion wars, scandals, etc. But one day I realized that a lot of 'modern life' was being laid on a couch alone watching low level distraction and ads. Suddenly, the idea of sitting with you neighbors listening to latin spells from a wiser (allegedly) person felt like quality time.
- andrepd 5y agoWe're definitely missing a "secular religion", as an alternative to the preposterous and regressive superstitions that billions partake in.
