I mentioned in an earlier blog that many ideological worldviews are shaped in the sandbox.
Combine
that observation with my other observation that most people become
frozen in their worldview sometime before age 25 and 9 out of ten
people won't change their views or behavior after that even when faced with death.
The result is a good explanation of why societies change so slowly.
Our society could become more responsive to the empirical world much faster if and when we get out of the grip of Lefty dominated public education that entraps us for the first two decades of our lives.
