By making something taboo we stop our ability to learn, resulting detrimental consequences. The
largest example might be the ancient taboo against touching dead bodies,
which stopped the proper study of human anatomy until very recent
history. A current example is sex. Talking about it is taboo to many
people, but for those who do bother to question and learn, their
sex-related problems drop dramatically.
Imagine where we would be if we would only realize that seeking knowledge works.
