I was saying intellectual curiosity. As in one morning waking up and realising everything your ancestors believed in was a bunch of bullshit.
That attitude became heavily discouraged in the Islamic world.
Is it actually consistent with intellectual curiosity to wake up one morning and realize that everything your ancestors believed in was a bunch of bullshit? It seems wildly implausible that every single belief held by your ancestors was wrong, and probably some beliefs were correct and others were incorrect and it's not necessarily trivial to distinguish which ones were which; or even to know from many generations removed which beliefs your ancestors actually held.
