The convenient fictions about the world that are taught to children become held so dearly they hinder seeing things as they really are as adults.
When navigating life armed with only the knowledge instilled in you by your parents, tribe, church, school, or government, you end up only serving their agendas, not your own.
Question everything. You may end up right back where you started, reinforcing your worldview, or you may discover uncomfortable truths that you can no longer avoid and change your mind about many things.
Either way, you'll own your own mind, no longer relying on the inertia of your upbringing.
