I believe this is mostly a matter of cultural supression of creativity, mostly through compulsory education.

Current model of centralised education does more to suppress human spirit than to educate

To steelman the opposing side. Where does the rabbit hole of philos end? I've been obsessed with asking why for years, has it given me conviction in the choices 'I' make? yes, but it has also paralyzed me when action is required in a domain I have spent no time on.
