I think the main thing I was gesturing at in the post is that traditions can die and be lost beyond recovery, and when they are gone we accept that loss the same way that we accept the deaths of people from the past.
In the same way, that it’s sad when someone dies unnecessarily today, it would be sad for certain traditions that we have today to be lost. We also close the door on evolutions of those traditions and experiences downstream from those things that lead to valuable mind states.
I am less concerned about traditions that are dropped by lack of interest in the far future because the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
