About the human development
(from baby to death)
ABOUT THAT QUESTION/PROBLEM: The fact is that all of the newborn people (babies) are not free and (in the future, too, when they're already kids, teenagers, etc.) they're dependable in their development. What dependence? The dependence comes at first from the parents, but later it comes also from the: a/ teachers, b/ government (the official ideology in their country) and even from the friends or classmates (if they are able to control you in some obvious or hidden way). You may be dependable (or/and influenced) even from some popular TV-show or something like this. There are many examples for the high level influence, which is coming from the TV, society, parents, friends and so on.
So... my conclusion is that only the well-educated and clever (whatever it means) people will be able to JUMP OVER the current thinking (thinkings) /i.e. the paradigm/ and they'll make some progress. The rest of the people, well... they were, they are and they will be just the commoners (or worse)...
