I don't see why not. It is, basically, a set of perspectives, mental habits, and certain heuristics. People lose skills, forget knowledge, just change -- why would rationality be exempt?
Habits and heuristics are what I'd call "rituals."
Are perspectives something you can lose? I ask genuinely. It's not something I can relate to.
I don't know about that. A heuristic is definitely not a ritual -- it's not a behaviour pattern but just an imperfect tool for solving problems. And habits... I would probably consider rituals to be more rigid and more distanced from the actual purpose compared to mere habits.
Sure. You can think of them as a habitual points of view. Or as default approaches to issues.
