When kids repeatedly ask “why?” they’re trying to see the underlying reasoning behind what they’re told by authorities. “Because I said so” rejects that instinct and says “stop reasoning and obey.” We then become adults who only know how to trust authorities other than ourselves.
@davidgasquez well, that's part of us being human. We really are standing on the giant's shoulders, and we have to trust others for the vast majority of things.
Did you personally checked or are able to tell what minerals are in a stone? Are you actually able to build a remote control by scratch, or understand how planets or plants work? I don't, I mainly trust others and there is nothing wrong with it. Actually it's not something you can avoid, IMO
