I don’t think it’s more human mature than the opposite is.

Most of us are capable of reasoning and of empathy. We can hear a doctor say “there’s cases where it’s necessary” and think “yeah, makes sense” or “I trust their expertise”.

Not being able to see past oneself seems like a very limited view. There’s reasons for that of course. but it’s a failure of education and social surroundings. And it’s not inherent.
