gree of (temporary) insight into the real mechanisms of this world, we allow this impulse to pass. We give it no chance to influence our life. - Doubt and skepticism reject a (temporary) insight how to re
orient our ideas and actions before it may even stimulate us. Doubt and skepticism are either acquired (learned) or caused by social opportunism (by our tendency not to violate ac

Pointless generalization disregards the individual components of life. It always is a sign of a indifference and disinterest in our own life as well. This factor blocks a differentiated perception of events and thereby hinder us to access more detailed and com
prehensive cognition. 5 - Ignorance - is an inability to recognize the path that leads to
