  1. HUMAN BEING NEED ceremony and ritual - its an innate part of our nature and we don't really know why. Gobekli Tepe is 12,000 years old and is a ceremonial site of astonishing beauty. Britain is incredibly unusual in that the establishment but on some of the best ceremonial events in the work, and the British people have just about the lowest appreciation of ceremony in the world. Ceremony connects the past to the present to the future with YOU at the fulcrum of it. Maybe if Britians partook ceremony more - Brexit would never have happened, the desperate longing for a the past to be brought back because you are so disconnected from it...?

  2.  @Hdcrxycloid-o1y  No they do - QUOTE: "Ritual as a response to anxiety Anthropologists have long observed that people across cultures tend to perform more rituals in times of uncertainly. Stressful events such as warfare, environmental threat and material insecurity are often linked with spikes in ritual activity. In a laboratory study in 2015, my colleagues and I found that under conditions of stress people’s behavior tends to become more rigid and repetitive – in other words, more ritualized. The reason behind this propensity lies in our cognitive makeup. Our brain is wired to make predictions about the state of the world. It uses past knowledge to make sense of current situations. But when everything around us is changing, the ability to make predictions is limited. This causes many of us to experience anxiety." ---§--- I have lots and lots more on this - ceremony and ritual is a very deep and fundamental part of the human psychology, we now on a superficial level - as in this paragraph - but we dont know the evolutionary role that led to it. We are even beginning to believe that we were wrong about the birth of civilisation - its now thought that hunter-gatherers gathered together for ceremony and then became sedentary around the areas of the ritual and that led to the planting of crops and NOT the other way around. We are also starting to believe that human bodies developed to contain the bacteria in our stomachs, arms to feed the bacteria, legs to move the arms to the food source and a barin to seek it out. In other words - there is a LOT we don't fully understand about humans.

  4. You mean you would prefer to be ruled over by a president selected by being the biggest tw4t at Eton...??? Cos that's what you will get. Also I don't think you mean "abacination" weirdly out of context here, especially given the number of people who WATCHED the coronation.
