I'd credit biology, culture... the usual authors of our thinking.

  You would describe as an innate and obvious part to the environment. Interesting how something that took 1000s of years to articulate is just innate to the layperson in the modern world.

    No doubt there are many cases of exactly that. And articulation is of rather arbitrary value. I wouldn't put it on a pedestal.

      I'm not putting it on a pedestal. I'm afflicted with the need to know the source of beliefs. It could be with more study one might find the value is anything but arbitrary. I guess I should bow out of this thread since I'm never really sure what we are discussing. One certainly doesn't need to understand the foundations of understanding to get by in the modern world. I can't really cope without knowing the roots of why we do what we do.
