I disagree. Being able to work with generalizations for what they are is far more developed than pretending they do not teach you anything. Once again judging does not come into it. For instance on the poisonous snake. You do not judge it as good or bad for being what it is. You judge it for whether it bit you.
To generalize is a survival mechanism. With out being able to assign things to groups it is hard to know how to deal with them. Should you trust all snakes? Now the danger comes in when your generalizations cause you to blindly assume all traits of a group are unvarying and locked. As I wrote repeatedly in the previous posts I do not think that way.
As for people seeing through my BS? My gosh I hope so. That would indicate depth. The problem I more routinely encounter is people like yourself that are unable to comprehend outside their world view. If they have not experienced something, imagination lacks.
I have not gone into my insecurities since I have been responding to your posts. I had legion of them growing up. Most have felled by the wayside with the years. I guess the biggest I have now is worry about dying and health. If you live long enough you eventually realize how minimal most of the rest are.
Good fortune.
