Something that you brought up this episode is something I myself realized. A lot of things like spirituality and stuff had a lot of great lessons and even old philosophies too, that nowadays we've ignored or looked over because it doesn't fit within the boundaries of the truths we expose and can factually observe today. The answer to me isn't to trust things wholecloth or ignore the reality of things that we can empirically tell aren't real, but to try to come up with why is it that things feel 'right' or 'fulfilling' when looking at it from a more whimsical way. Like to me obviously things like 'karma' aren't exactly real, but it is true that when you do bad things there's a chain of cause and effect that lead to your life being worse or other people's lives being worse. Or the idea that being more balanced or having responsibilities spiritually to fulfill a purpose makes observing patterns or understanding them easier. I almost feel like as humans some concepts are so grand that we can't possibly with words alone perfectly articulate or even understand the full truth behind some things work, or there's things we cannot even observe. When we discard large swaths of say old wisdom due to some parts being obviously untrue or not real we deny some of the underlying narratives that would help make things more cohesive in our day to day. So not that I believe or want people to wholly prescribe or trust to these old ways of thinking dogmatically, but more that I want people to be willing to observe and take away valuable truths and interpret them to fill missing holes in understanding that I think are largely present today.

Also to bring it to something more cultural, there was an interesting observation that I heard that when someone put it this way made me realize that the words and concepts we use in terms of punishing people is a societal construct rather than something wholly necessary. A lot of people who hurt other peoples need to be helped, but somewhere along the lines, whether it was through religious doctrine or to protect more primitive cultures was the idea that there was 'righteousness' or 'justice' in harming those who did an evil deed. That sinners needed to repent and be punished in order to be 'forgiven' as if you cannot attempt to do good until your dues have been paid and your soul is impure until then and as such you are someone to be feared or admonished until the very moment you can prove that you've done exactly as much good as you've harmed. This is a concept that you see in Vinland Saga some, and I can't help but wonder if the pervasiveness of that sentiment was born out of the persecution of others just as much as it was to prevent wrongdoing. In anime for example there's often time more sympathy given to people who do bad things or disrupt society than traditional western media and I wonder where it was that we commonly chose to dehumanize misfits or people who see differently than we.

Nicely said on all points! To add some thoughts: We categorize different doctrines or pursuits as this or that (philosophy, theology, specific religious sects, science, etc etc) but ideally they are united by a common search for Truth and understanding, and even better is if it results in knowledge that is liveable or applicable. Perhaps specializing in one field or another helps one attain a deeper level of understanding of the specifics of those categories, but it also doesn't mean that there is no truth or wisdom to be found in elements of the others. Really interesting point about punishment. The main function of punishment we point to is the element of dissuasion from harmful behaviors. But there's an element that's less talked about and is more insidious, which is something like... restoring faith in a system we may have subscribed to unconsciously. That system is something like... "I shouldn't do X because I would be punished," as opposed to the arguably richer view of "I shouldn't do X because it violates my principles."
