    idk. What's the effect of rolling heads down one side of the temple and the headless bodies down the other for longevity of a society?
    If you want to say that communal prayer is good stuff, I think you need to explain how it's good stuff and not just point to the fact that it's a thing and say because it's a thing it's good stuff. That's very obvious circular reasoning.
    The Kakapo and the Marabou stork survived. That doesn't mean it was a great idea. Survival isn't necessarily a sign of excellence.

    It might not be good. Nobody knows, but we DO know that there is plenty of good stuff in the human world that we do not understand and cannot explain logically.

    Completely agree.

    Survival is, however, an important mode of evaluation when it comes to things we otherwise have little understanding of.
