I guess a lot of it has just bubbled up over my 61 years.
I grew up on a farm and reading became my main hobby, given I was usually tired and the social scene involved more chaos and stress than it was worth.
Though pretty deep family roots in the area, so I've just learned to melt into the world and try to sense it as best as possible, then the connections seem to make themselves.
Basically we can be specialists or generalists and the system requires both, but currently it only really values specialists. Consequently this global Tower of Babel, as everyone is very sure of what they know, but tend to be lost to the context.
Safe to say, when one questions basic principles, those in the particular field simply do not register, given the conceptual structures are complex and so the premises have to be given, otherwise it would be a seriously different model.
For example, I have serious reservations about our current cosmology and having watched it evolve for the last 45 years, the sociology of the crowd seems to override basic logic.
This is a post I made recently;
Safe to say, making that point has had me banned from a number of sites and seriously moderated on some others. So there is some hesitancy in raising it, but the field of cosmology, as well a the underlaying theoretical physics, has become ever more fantastical in its pronouncements, to the point of proposing post-empirical science as validation, that some sort of reset will eventually occur.
Future generations are not going to spend their careers chasing after conceptual unicorns.
Which is to say this is the existental. My version of cosmology.
