Yeah like how is that practical at all, why would you ruin a photo when touching cockroaches for a bit harms nothing, that makes no sense to me at all.I'm someone who couldn't be farther removed from conspiracy theories but ermm, cockroaches are harmless and I'd rather not damage a family photo of mine...has nothing to do with believing it's sacred lol, just don't want to tear a picture of my family to shreds if it's a keepsake. If I have multiple copies then fine, I'd rather do that.
There's a lot of things in your post that could be resolved by just telling you to read the plain text of the hypothetical, but this takes the cake.Why an unmarked grave specifically? My mind immediately went to the grave of a murder victim, and I'm not big into contaminating a crime scene.
Might be 2 1 2 for me (or 1 1 2? I skimmed the OP before answering lol), but it tracks
Basically, are you operating on cold, hard logic or emotion. Cold, hard logic says - fuck the picture, pajamas are pajamas, and they're already dead - who gives a fuck
But then if you believe that there's something wrong with stabbing a picture of your family, wearing a monster's pajamas, or disrespecting a grave, you're thinking of stuff beyond logic. How people think of you, some mystical quality of the dead, etc.
It's pretty interesting. I wonder how it correlates with other beliefs/actions. But it tracks so far to me.
One is placing emotional wellness over physical wellness. Cockroaches are still nasty and capable of biting. It's also assuming the general reaction of, "OH MY GOD COCKROACHES NOOOOO," applies here.Yeah like how is that practical at all, why would you ruin a photo when touching cockroaches for a bit harms nothing, that makes no sense to me at all.
Yeah I guess so, just feels like it wouldn't be that big a deal, I like looking at old family photos and remembering my kids when they were young and stuff and just wouldn't wanna lose one of those pictures, cockroaches or whatever few bites they'd inflict having my hand in there for half a second doesn't seem too bad. If it was like getting bit by a venomous snake that'd be a whole other ballgame!One is placing emotional wellness over physical wellness. Cockroaches are still nasty and capable of biting.

I'd say the study is wildly reductionist and somewhat nonsensical considering your perspective, yeah. It's essentially saying that sentimentalism > mild discomfort is a bad thing and that's a silly idea.Yeah I guess so, just feels like it wouldn't be that big a deal, I like looking at old family photos and remembering my kids when they were young and stuff and just wouldn't wanna lose one of those pictures, cockroaches or whatever few bites they'd inflict having my hand in there for half a second doesn't seem too bad.
