At what age do people catch conservatism? Is there a vaccine?
Different for each person. Very early if indoctrinated, like religion or peer culture. Some catch it when they transition to working life or overall success and catch the I got mine disease. I'd say it grows fairly early, teens at the latest, and solidifies early 20s. The I got mine crowd can happen late, like 30-40.
Generally the age when they start to feel overwhelming fear of change and the unfamiliar. Exposure therapy is probably the best cure.
