CJ>>"It almost never occurs to anyone to question how their worldview got into their heads in the first place; to most of us it just looks like truth and common sense."

Most of us have been indoctrinated from birth to "limit our questioning" within "acceptable paramaters". As kids, we are all very curious about EVERYTHING and keep asking WHY questions as a way to understand the world (and its ways better). Often, we are shut down - either because the people we are asking these questions to themselves don't know the answers OR they couldn't be bothered to find out the answers (for multiple, maybe even pragmatic reasons). Hence, a part of our innate curiosity starts waning at a very early age.

We reach adulthood and we are already indoctrinated (through years of conscious AND unconscious comformity) to fit-in and accept "common-sense" narratives and narratives "acceptable" by our society and environment. I feel that this LOSS OF CURIOSITY plays a big part in WHY we as adults don't question things enough (and this applies not just to power and authority and systems but ALSO to OUR OWN beliefs and values).
