By the time the restrictions that caused them disappear, the constraints are strongly engrained in us and we have to unlearn certain thinking patterns by developing a new perspective.

I wonder if on net this can be a good thing. For long-running customs, there are often opaque restrictions that can only be seen after removing the custom.

(I’d bet this really applies to very long running customs at a societal level. When we go down to the individual level, things get a lot more malleable)

I think it has to do with education levels as well. Better-educated people with the ability to see the greater perspective of things are more likely to see pointless customs for what they really are.

Hmmm. Or maybe wise people (educated or not) know even better than the educated, which customs to follow, teach their kids.
