What are some lifestyle choices or decisions you’ve made that most people would consider “unconventional”? — taking a different path, coloring outside the lines, etc. If those choices are in hindsight, how do you think about them now?

Also their outdated views -irrational/superstitious that they don't qualify to be 'current'. Would anybody knowingly hold outdated views(and be ridiculed for that)? Or are they 'current' as per them and 'their' world? What is their world? Hmm, may be I need to think more :)
The outdatedness of many conventions (and conventional thinking) seems especially damning. We do live in a different world, and old patterns don’t always continue to work.

To the extent that the different world is unsustainable, it will pass away, and the enduring patterns will reveal themselves again. Very little new arises which is good. We wish to believe otherwise so that we can be superior to those who came before.

My parent(s) passed on the same knowledge that their parents gave them, even though it didn’t work for them. No self-reflection. Oh and raised me in a cult. Distrusting adults by default has served me very well. How people know what they know is probably why I’m into philosophy!
