Is that basically what you're saying Sini?

I agree with you that many people are incapable (or at least unwilling to expend the effort) of breaking from the paradigm you describe, but to assume that every human is that way is, I think, faulty reasoning or the height of conceit (if I can't help it, neither can anyone else).

As an example there are plenty of old rich people who aren't conservative, and poor young people who are.
