google documentary on how exactly we are taught what and how to think...
current research on memetics and brain washing says about 2% of the world population has access to their own brain...
See everything we have been taught and told as a child from our parents and in school etc etc is in there. Everything we see, smaell, taste, touch, hear etc is experienced through the filters given to us by others (loads comes from TV and companies, gov, religion etc etc as well) whats in the subconscious interprets what comes in new. If the beliefs aren't consciously assessed then they are there from someone else, not self and therefor all the rational that is based on other peoples beliefs is not our own. (most people opperate about 8% conscious and 92% subconscious-the thinking that we do is in the conscious-but it is all directed and matched against whats in the subconscious-so quite literally, if you have not looked into your beliefs and questioned your own and see if they are really true for you and if they actually serve your life you cannot be thinking very much on your own)
Clues for defensive programming are things like emotions stemming in discussion or disagreement or on certain topics.
