Paradigm Shift

Indeed. Science is a human endeavour and so is an alloyed expression of a grasping that then yields to a revealed truth - regardless the insertion or generation of time in which to prolong the drama. Desire is key - because to a desire for truth there can be no failure - only new information.
But the wish to make things be what we (think we) want them to be is bound to fail regardless the   magical tricks by which to seem to cling on to the bit we thought to have achieved.

So the recognition of an unworkable way of thinking is in a way like the bottoming out of an addict . Old habits are replaced by new choices that in time become natural and naturally supported when those choices are more aligned with who we freely recognize or accept ourselves to be - rather than an acquired or inherited sense of coercion or requirement to stuff that down and be who we are not - for whatever reason. Stuffed down life may be put out of sight but it isn't really out of mind and is stored in the body - not unlike toxins that cant be excreted so are encapsulated away from vital pathways as a next line of protection.

Bring back to social level - those who sacrifice their joy (or integrity of being) to survive their world are often resentful of those who don't also 'pay the price' (conform), as a cover story against uncovering the pain that is always associated with a self-(and other)-betrayal.
My sense of the 'territory' of being human helps me to not be so quick to presume moral superiority or at least invest in it as if I have nothing to learn, and others should live up to my own standards for them.

Our worldview, or adaptation, is part of who we are - but only see how much this is so when it is broken or revealed false in some fundamental sense. making choices that we then stand in with both feet is - I feel - a significant act - even when we make mistakes - because such commitment is a condition of being on purpose and paying attention. True willing (willingness) is different from wishing - no matter how much intensity is invested in wishing (wilful). Or what authorities are invoked. 

Connecting with what Is - without arresting in our reaction to it is being open in relation, one moment at a time. That may be the uncomfortable part - one cant go back to sleep. And that is where desire and discipline hold some sort of compass in opening a new sense of exploration.

Because you're worth it - but here's the rub; to know this is to share it. That's why giving and receiving love holds the worth that we cannot have alone or get for ourself alone - regardless our social or professional status.
