After analyzing and dissecting cultural imprinting, it is quite possible to leave it behind and find unique paths through life. It's not easy, and requires plenty of thought and reason, but the rewards are many.

You should try it, perhaps. It involves recognizing that what you think you know is incorrect and searching for what is correct. Eliminate your blind spots and generalizations and find what is real, rather than rely on what is imaginary.

Just a suggestion, Guy. Just a suggestion.
