73. Organ for knowledge.
A human child is born bearing same genetic survival mechanisms as many other animals. The mechanism for imitative behavior for example helps a developing brain lay down neural pathways similar to parents since they have proven useful so far for survival.
Acquisition and use of language-as we grow up- draws its symbolic value almost identical to that used in the environment one grows up in. A succesful tradition already has its memes designed to have the maximum hold on the eager learning brain. The individual finds it comforting not to deviate from the norm and risk censure from peers . Even the so called non-conformist ideals of modern age cant help but operate within the sphere of accepted morality as the energy is driven towards giving the illussion of not belonging which works well for both the actor and the audience.
