When a child first becomes self-aware, he wonders about his surroundings and ponders about the sky. Children start to ask questions without shame and embarrassment about everything from trivial to deep, often inconceivable by the inert, already graduated adults. For children, the world is fresh, nothing is banal. They examine everything in details with awe and wonder with their greatest amusement. Children are born philosophers and scientists. It is the exasperated parents, the teachers and adults, by whom their curiosity is strangulated and sentenced to death. Gradually, the world becomes routine and they there is no question left for them to ask, because for every question, there is a ready-made answers coming from authoritative figures. Don't believe me? Go to the 1st grade classroom and then 10th grade. You will see, who are the real philosophers and scientists. By the time when they are grown up, most of them will not look beyond their day-to-day needs and choirs. Then they are occupied with hustle and bustle of modern life and their curiosity is deeply repressed in their subconscious. There always remains a hidden anxiety but they don't know exactly what it is. Instead they blame the anxiety for life stress, jobs, relationships or failure to achieve socially prescribed goals, although these goals themselves are often stressful too. To overcome this basic drive, they then buy and read self-help books, see priests for salvation or go to the doctors for their head scanned. The self-help book authors claims that they are not reading his book carefully enough. Priest claims that he is possessed by evil spirits. Doctors claim there are some chemical or neurotransmitter imbalance and recommends antidepressant or anti psychotic pills. Nobody sees the obvious problem. The madness is by design, and this madness is not necessarily done by some group of people or governments, intentionally. The blame is ours, collective. When nothing helps then they resort to drugs [illicit] or medications [prescription] to calm them down and to help them stop asking questions. This is the bane of modern or postmodern society. This is how born philosophers or scientists die. Curiosity and wonder of being and the drive to self-actualize is gagged and smothered. Instead, they are given the opium of institutionalized religion and mushroom of dogmatic, commercialized science. When this opium is not achieving satisfactory results in calming down the curiosity then they are given new opium of "Qualified Freedom", "Sexual liberation", Booze and footballs. For resistant and recalcitrant cases, psychedelics and Heroin become the only opium, which is, by definition, the infallible opium. This is how "defective" born philosophers and scientists die [apoptosis] and a regular, "normal citizens" are born.
