>> Tradition is a set of solutions for problems that don't exist anymore

That'd be reductionist rationalists' position.

Defining a name for something doesn’t make it into a point.

It’s like calling someone conservative for saying that migration is taking away jobs. So what? What is the point you are making here?

Is the point to reframe the idea in such a way that it would be easier to reduce their opinion to the outer group associated with the name?

What problem did it solve before?

Hygiene

That's the modern justification. Surgery "in the middle of a desert in the insanitary conditions and no water" for "hygiene" is a very counter-intuitive practice, don't you think?

Wow, I never thought about this. It would be interesting to do a study to see what lead to more disease, child circumcision during that time, or hygiene complications later in life, not to mention and STDs that might be spread more easily. Fascinating new way to look at it.

What is even more counter-intuitive is to say that ancient wisdom knows more about human health than today’s medicine.

Disorder in society

.. how?

Phimosis, I presume.
