As I grow older, I realize how much my youth shaped my worldview and how it is increasingly becoming difficult to change or form anew 

I find myself fused (often irrationally) to them in different ways, esp when it comes to ideas / rituals that are close to who I am

I am surprised to find myself not disliking that

If you’re okay with sharing in this forum, I’d be curious to hear what some of those perceived irrational fusions to worldviews are and if there are identifiable patterns you can trace back to specific periods of your youth

Perhaps it is a realization that I've been overfitting on rationality. Irrationality has its place in the world (so much of what we choose to do is subconsciously decided it seems) and Tech often follows hyper-rationality as a religion, in a way (though no one wants to admit that it too, is an ideology with faults)

Agree. I’ve made the same mistake. It’s about the balance.
