Congratulations! 22 is earlier than many. It is about the time our brain development is ready for abstract processing. Yes, we could learn it earlier. As a teacher, that was one of my goals. I agree the system teaches kids to internalize facts more than it teaches true individual thought. For many it feels unsafe to challenge the beliefs we’ve been taught and not going with the ‘truth’ so many around us accept as completely valid. It is often more important to “not be them” than to really consider what “being us” and “being them” actually means. What good does each hold to? What areas on each side need reconsideration?
