    I am loathe to do away with all traditions and rituals simply because they have no obvious practical purpose in today's world.

    Indeed. Look at uniforms worn by law enforcement, military, etc. So much not practical, but still...

        When we spend all damn day staring at screens, driving cars, and getting paid to make logical decisions, it's pretty easy to delude ourselves into thinking that only practicality matters. But we actually need this stuff. I'd argue further that it's good that we do, but either way, we're stuck with it.

        Please love yourself.

            I wasn't mocking the uniforms, I was only observing that they are different in kind from other uniforms, and seem to harken back to frilly outfits for mystics.

            Education is extremely important.

                Mystics had the knowledge. Which meant they had the power. And people went to them to defer to their decision-making. Robes are old as shit that way.

                      There is a purpose. It says 'I'm a fucking Supreme Court judge, asshole. Don't fuck with me or you're going DOWN, Motherfucker!'.

                      But it says it very politely, and in a nice accent.
