I've noticed that so much rigid/conservative thinking on a personal scale (the kind almost everyone commits from time to time) revolves around a discomfort with the squishy, uncertain, social, and decidedly organic work of figuring shit out and never being quite sure if you've got it right.
It's like an inability to admit that while you don't have all the answers, you're still willing feel uncomfortable and try your best to get it right.
