That makes sense to me, when a child is young and still developing they can draw on new ideas without resistance. The more you think you know and the more habits you form, the more of a barrier there can be to examining the very fundamentals of your thinking.

For example, I've had to train myself out of the tu quoque fallacy, which I'd never even heard of until a couple of years ago. Someone who didn't care as much as me probably wouldn't bother. Even now it does take a mental effort to police myself. The effort has become less over time, and hopefully it will become second nature. Tu quoque in particular seems to be some sort of reflex, any time the criticism can be brushed aside efficiently, it is a tempting option.

Some people on this forum either will not or cannot grasp tu quoque. I'll have to do a video on that one as well, as it's so "popular".

Feel free to send me a private message.
