It appears a common choice is to restrict our repository of knowledge and our capacity to accumulate further knowledge in an attempt to secure our existence.
In such an instance a line must be drawn between freedom of knowledge and its loss. I doubt location of such a line itself is ever a regimented process, but rather an impulsive or instinctual selection.
A lack of knowledge by definition would deter a reasoned decision from being made.

I wonder how the names of things are chosen; I wonder if there is any psychological study into how the names of things themselves affect how those ideas may manifest themselves in the human mind, statistically.
They say even the color and orientation of a room has an effect on the psyche. Surely the words we choose to represent the raw ideas and thoughts in our own minds must too, have an effect.
Such a consideration seems to be practical and logical, yet I do not recall ever reading text of such a nature. Perhaps it is a well-guarded tool of security.

Security itself is a large industry. There is security of persons, of facilities, even of nations. The US federal budget is notorious for being overwhelmed with national security expenditures.
Certainly, the security of knowledge, too, must have a well-funded demand. It would not surprise me to find that many subtle psychological axioms find themselves well-guarded.
