Many times we accept theories presented to us at face value. We don't have the time to dig deeper in all possible topics. We do need trusted authorities of some kind in our lives.
But pay attention to your own curiosity. Which areas cause you to look further and ask: Why? These relevance realizations will save you from your evident blindness and help you focus your life in accordance with your values.
The deeper you're inclined to dig and the more times you ask Why, the more you should direct your attention to that area.
What you will find is how blind you were before. After adopting this practice, what you will hopefully conclude is how blind you still are and will always be, and how humble and open you need to be in order to learn.
Dig deeper. Dare to ask Why and spend the effort to feed your curiosity.
The Truth lies beneath the known, beyond the frontiers.
