    also, we ritualize literally everything. Watching TV is a ritual, and you watch anything older, likely some dead people are in it or worked on it.

    All food is eating dead things and most meals have some sort of ritual associated with it.

    Even the most ardent atheist ritualizes their morning shower, or experiences the ritual of listening to music etc

    The ritualization of a death process - per capita and at scale - is much less destructive to the planet, society and public spaces than, say, driving a car or playing golf.
