>> 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?
