You can imagine yourself into different dimensions, but can't shake some indoctrination from your childhood which you no longer even agree with?

Fair enough.

I am a little confused.

You seem to dissect everything else but wave away the impact childhood has on a person.

I had a gloriously happy childhood. It’s what gives me my sense of whimsy.

I'm confused by your confusion.
Do you not have the ability to choose to disagree with statements made to you as a child that you no longer hold to be true?

Oh, I disagree with a lot of things I was told/taught.  But my childhood still had a large impact on the person I am today.  I learned not to be a drunk, abusive, mean parent.  The scars from those lessons remain.

Sure, personality traits are different to assent to propositions.

As an adult one can dissent from the proposition that pleasure is irrelevant.
