you can derive a preliminary intuition of a topic without anyone telling you what to think, or giving you a demonstration one way or the other, is [a] revelation enough Indeed. However I studies philosophy when I was 14 and I suspect it may be due to this early "training" that I am incline to think stuff through on my own and get a logical understanding of things. I have been pleasantly surprised often by so many things I have come up with on my own to only find out that many other people with proper objective undertakings have arrived at the same conclusions, or things I thought were knew and insights to only find out others are studying it indepth. I think people do not try and think stuff through on their own perhaps because they have not been giving this "early training". There is a danger with thinking stuff on your own and that is the fact that one may come up with whatever story, which is perhaps another reason why laymen may disincline to endeavour in such activity, however if they were introduced with some philosophy and emphasised the objectivity of their undertaking our place perhaps would be filled with much better adapted individuals. For such reason I propose philosophy be introduced in the curriculum at grade 9, rather than religion as they teach here in Britain.
