Experiences I avoid

On an intuitive level, I always avoid the sorts of experiences that people are unable to discuss directly. I particularly avoid those experiences which have the supporting argument: "Do X and Y because otherwise you are very silly and you risk losing my respect."

There are very, very many experiences I would like to know more about, but conservative thinkers tend to undermine their position on the basis of the structure of their "arguments".

Again and again, I am forced to analyse such conservative "arguments" as to why I should live life as they do. Again and again, I am compelled to reject their points of view.
