But if you accept tradition without thinking through it, you are still an NPC/nonauthentic, yet it might be good for many.
Also, traditions and traditional values might have value for the community, but not necessarily for an individual. One needs to figure it out.
But modern programming seems to be harmful both for an individual and community, that's is something new to deal with.
All of us are standing on the shoulders of a few thousand geniuses through history.
Only the best 150+ IQ people could ever rediscover traditional truths on their own in a single lifetime.
An 100 IQ and below average person stands no chance at all.
As you point out correctly, all tradition is not made equal. Islam is an effective tradition, their numbers are proof of it, but they do act very NPC like.
Western tradition on the other hand, is based on thinking things through and using rationality to arrive at truth and good. Which means that NPCs who adopt western tradition, will be programmed to learn how to not be programmed.
That's why the elites attack "dead white men", because those people taught rational thought.
