The Devil is in the Details
(Group Anthropology)
Procedural knowledge is the “right behavior/value hierarchy” that is embodied by the narrative.
The narrative [“religion, myth, story; value-hierarchy; system”] comes from how the group has acted in history.
The habit-minded value-system (+,-); hierarchy is [A] derived from and [B] is what drives how the group acts and has acted in history [17:84; 5:32; 4:1].It was/is derived from the historical social context of the group and the security and stability promoted and provided by the existing habit-minded value-system; hierarchy – to which the mass membership of the group/culture are unconscious and about which they are uneducated.
The “narrative-made-sacred” in myth, religion and ritual is the “accepted portrayal of what works (worked)” historically for the survival, security and stability of the group as it currently exists.[1]
It is the “dramatic recipe”; the “cultural algorithm” which memorializes in fact and in abstract what was done and what must continue to be done to support the survival, security and stability of the individual and the group, physically, morally and psychically.
