Why do so many religions ritualise painful self-sacrifice? Painful displays are very *credible* evidence of faith. They signal strong commitment. This likely enhances religiosity, which in turn promotes large-scale social cooperation and solidarity https://t.co/nAVdZ0VwKO https://t.co/ALeoBoK4Ej

@DrZacharyHarris This is how prosociality works. You can check out Whitehouse’s The Ritual Animal, Norenzayan’s Big Gods & his collaborative paper, “The Cultural Evolution of Prosocial Religions,” or Brusse et al., “Explaining costly religious practices.” There are numerous studies on this.

@janeclarejones Extending radical constructivim to health is entirely sensible. Honest.
Had no idea this is where we were in the cognitive science of religion. Apparently our religious beliefs and practices are nonadaptive byproducts of our innate cognitive functions. Pretty cool I guess
