the whole point of tradition is to be indoctrinated into a way of life that *works*. the idea is that you don't need to be handheld into understanding it. it's not a logical kind of instruction. you're shown the way life works, you emulate successful patterns so you don't have to make all the mistakes your ancestors made. it's 'conditioned' into you because there's no time for you to try/fail/try again. you get to stand on the shoulders of giants. that's a good thing.
