sure, Piaget explored exactly that in his "equilibrated game" socialization is the process of learning how to be invited back. you do that by providing things of value. value are those things that enhance survival fitness and wellbeing of the people you want to be invited back by. the game needs to be such that you're not simply trying to be invited back once, but across time in general and across future unknown people groups of indeterminate value. the idea is this is the essence of "morality" or the realm of the ought as it pertains to human action. Jung comes in that he describes unification as a "moral effort"--meaning that inasmuch as Piaget is right and he's describing morality with his equilibrated game, then him and Jung are aiming at the same thing. Jungian analytic psychology is a form of praxis centered around that aim. To make better humans. Religious symbolism is the basis for communicating the themes humanity has accreted in the form of tradition which is nothing less than the accumulated wisdom through time of our forefathers in playing this game. Depth psychology is the idea that the symbolism itself is rooted in the collective unconscious which is the underlying unconscious mental layer which all humans share to some degree and which humans draw on to substantiate inter subjective communication. post modernism is just one shitty chapter in the process of the collective unconscious developing mainly as a counter stroke to the oppressive ideologies of the first half of the 20th century. in other words, it is the counter stroke of chaos in response to excess order. the counter stroke to the counter stroke is just neo marxism. in any case, you are just an unwitting mouthpiece to a process that this board is fundamentally devoting to unwinding, which makes it all the more ironic [1]
have a nice day
