Selection is valid way of looking at things as well @shai-hulud. It can be understood this way, afterall, nature gave us techniques for a reason — denial, for instance, can save your sanity (but it can also keep us dumb.) I agree we don't have to illuminate it all or analyze it to be functional or thrive. But I also think that the subconscious is a lot like inside of a car. If you tinker with it and don't know how it works, then you can do damage. And if you do take the time to know what's going on under the hood, you can sometimes upgrade it, fix it, etc. So it could in a way be evolutionarily advantageous for some to be are of the intimate details of their truth.
