People's intuitive senses get "Trained Down" in order to better control them as children and make them go to school etc.

But, naturally humans are sort of like "the animals" with finely tuned senses that tend to get "dumbed down" sort of in a similar way that soldiers are taught to go against their survival instincts to die to protect their tribes or nations. So, this enculturation of people often reduces their chances for a long and healthy life both physically and mentally.

But, I would say it's a balance that we all are trying to achieve. Because without modern Medical Technology (at least since I was 50) I would have likely died by age 50 otherwise.

So, it's always a balance between "How do you mentally and physically survive on this earth within a culture (any culture) and still be true to your natural self which is more similar to the instincts of animals and how they survive in the wilds?"
