Acharya Prashant explains that human culture and traditions are often blind and driven by unconsciousness rather than awareness. He addresses the contradiction where people show immense love for pets while simultaneously consuming other animals like cows or pigs. This behavior persists because tradition eliminates the need for critical thinking. People justify their actions by claiming that their ancestors followed these practices, and they trace these ancestors back to a divine creator to give their ego a shield of sanctity. This reliance on the past creates a flawed model where people believe that anything ancient is inherently correct, whereas a rational look at evolution shows that our origins are primitive rather than divine.
