They don't teach anything on this in school. You become aware of it when you seriously investigate the topic.
But I think your investigation is more one sided than mine is.
God didn't leave all this to human subjectivity since human subjectivity isn't infallible.
That's why He gave us the Word.
And I don't believe it's possible to be free from worldly conditioning without God's help. People are raised in families and society. We're never totally free of outside people and events trying to influence us but we can seek to have God protect us and correct us from all the people out there who are ignorantly trying to steer us.
Humans don't live in a vacuum. Every time I turn on the tv these days there's somebody running an Obama or Romney ad trying to steer my opinion and vote.
Freedom from conditioning is the myth.
Seek the right conditioning from the best teacher.
