    Apparently the ergot theory of the Salem witch trials doesn't hold water with most scholars since the symptoms of ergot poisoning don't line up with what they described in the trials. The better explanation is that the puritans were deeply paranoid, believed in witchcraft, were societally prone to ostracizing others (remember we're talking about the scarlet letter people here) and were dealing with the cultural shock of King Phillips war, and last but not least believed torture was an effective interrogation technique. The better theory is that the witch trials caused by broadly the same societal pressures that caused things like the satanic panic of the 1980s or the red scare in the 50s.

      The problem with using the red scare as a parallel was...McCarthy was right. Not about the violating 1st amendment rights or the trials or any of those things, but that the USSR DID in fact have tons of spies in the US, the Soviets admitted to it decades later. McCarthy just did the exact opposite of what should've been done to do something about that, because all it did was make all the spies go underground where they'd be harder to find. Using the tactics of the enemy is not how you defeat them.

      A traditionalist government is a necrocracy. G.K. Chesterton, the traditionalist thinker behind "Chesterton's Fence", believed this literally:
      "Tradition may be defined as an extension of the franchise [to vote]. Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death."

    Regarding tradition based on common sense, I adore how the Air Forces make it so you don't get to pick your own callsign. Your fellow pilots assign one to you. So it's usually a nickname based on your name, your face, or the most embarrassing thing you've ever been seen doing in public.

      I mostly agree with this. You don't have to be superstitious to appreciate a ritual as something meditative and/or therapeutic. Pat should understand this as someone with OCD. Similarly, it becomes a problem when it goes from being either of those things to a source of distress somehow.

    Just regarding the thumbnail - the whole point of Tevye’s character arc in Fiddler on the Roof is that following old traditions to the letter is stupid and bad. It costs him his relationship with two of his daughters, nearly loses a third, and only saves his marriage by breaking the norms and asking his wife (from an arranged marriage) if she loves him.
    The moral of the whole show is that it does not matter how you pray, or live, or even love, but whether what you’re doing truly speaks to you.

    no joke, when I was young (around the mid 90's), my grandfather had an old farmers almanac from his grandpa's days (I think like late 1890 or something) and while I was looking through it had definitions of farming terms and this is where I found out that the "Grim Reaper" actually started off as a REALLY OLD farming term, like middle ages type thing. In the days when you farmed to feed your family, if you had a bad harvest where no food got produced and people starved to death, than you were called a "Grim Reaper" in person or after your own death because your bad farming got everyone killed, this term later got incorporated in Tarot cards and continued on from there......I learned this in a paperback booklet that was 4 times older than I am now XD

Which I usually would be fine with except we had put away pretty much all our stuff for showering and I would have to get out of the shower and navigate the cabin barefoot since we put away most of the towels and all the slippers, which I really didn’t wanna do, but I guess we couldn’t risk the bad luck, lol!

Where these tribal people (I forget where off the top of my head, I think in South America) would make the distinction that if a tree falls on your house, that's just bad luck/a coincidence because stuff like that happens when you live in a forest. But if a tree falls on your house while someone was in it, then that is witchcraft because someone could have been hurt.

    As someone who's into witchcraft stuff: The reason for anything involving spices is a mix of how, until basically the 1800s, spices in the western hemisphere were super expensive as they almost all came from India and Asia, and also how spices generally preserve food and were THE way to make food last before refrigeration. So you take something valuable that preserves and use it for magic stuff.

    However, this year, literaly as soon as she Saw me, she said "hey, you finaly had sex!", wich is not wrong, but, i didnt tell anyone in my family about that, *SO HOW DID SHE FIGURE THAT OUT?*

Maybe there was a bit of placebo effect in there, who knows. Idk how true that it but it's a nice thought.

    The thing about the Salem witch trials is that it was not primarily influenced by wheat. The main thing that enabled it was a complete collapse of the government and...basically it was "The Purge" with more steps. This was in the colonial era where your local government needed express permission of the king to run things. The last administration had failed to get their contract renewed, and the king later had to appoint a new governor. However, the ENITIRE LEGAL SYSTEM also lapsed with the lapse in contract. So in between the administrations, a person could get accused and locked up, but there was no court to try them, so they just sat in jail. Which seems great if you fucking hate your neighbor and want him gone for months.
    Now, the governor saw the backlog of people in jail, and he decided to appoint someone to handle the backlog of cases. However... this created a new problem because his governor had not created any laws - since he has to start from scratch. So they didn't have any rules on what you were supposed to do- and not do- at trial.
    So it was perfectly legal to claim that your neighbor came into your dream as a ghost and talked about how great Satan was. That was perfectly valid evidence that could be used to hang someone. Which is great if you REALLY FUCKING HATE your neighbor and also wanted to buy his farm when it went up for auction.
    So... yeah. FUCKING THE PURGE.

    Apparently there’s a theory that black cats were unlucky (which they are instead lucky in the uk) because one of the first thing that would get off a pirate ship when it was invading was the cats, so when people saw black cats roaming around they would know pirates might be coming (and also in England pirates later on became hired by the government as buccaneers so I guess black cats bring fortune literally)
    Then even dropping salt is considered bad luck because salt used to be very expensive. Roman soldiers used to be paid partially in salt (and that seems to be the origin of the word salary)
    So I guess bad and good luck are general shorthands for when you don’t know how to explain net positives or negatives

The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away.

I'm sure glad someone who is actively against modernity and progress "may allow us" to do things, only if we can prove to them personally we should be allowed to. Surely there wont just be another person feeling the same way also not allowing us to, meaning that it'll take 20 years of presentations and explanations to convince them all. Genuinely the idea this quote is backing is so bad, its like "never change anything ever things are great as they are, unless you can really convince me otherwise" its incredibly Boomery. Going to use a political example here because its specifically mentioned in the quote that the speaker is talking about politics but using a gate as an example.
      Imagine a law saying, for instance, that LGBT people can be denied service at any store, for the reason of being LGBT. should we listen to this guy who says "tell me the good reasons why this law is good, and until you can we won't get rid of it, and even then I may not allow you to do so."
