How much of our thoughts are autonomous?

One may know 'how' to discern right from wrong, true from false, but in the pace of life it is easier to accept opinions regardless of their integrity provided that they have peer support.
The person who thinks is apart from their society.
This is a sacrifice one may make.

A sacrifice at the cost of relating with one's fellow people.
What use is 'truth' if it has no utility?
Truth in this sense becomes an academic toy, thought experiments for the eremetic philosopher.



Could it be argued effectively that we are our environment?
The willingness for rational thought is overcome with the desire for easy living.
