Discussions with an objective approach, is there such a thing?

Hello, Your Honor.
I asked a similar question in another thread, but I want to discuss it differently, so I opened a new question.
If we conduct a global survey in general, we will find that people who have drastically changed their approach to life are the lowest in relativity. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that there are so many emotional components that prevent this. One of the most significant things is society and family, the desire not to abandon a family, and the need for social recognition. Of course, every society and family has its own codes and rules, and the parts of it that are more difficult, and there is no need to go into details.
I assume that even those who made significant changes had emotional components that helped them do so.
My question consists of several parts.
A. What is the guarantee that I am able to come to the discussion openly enough to change my opinion and personality if I am wrong?
B. Isn’t my opinion automatically influenced by emotional bias?
C. Honestly, isn’t it strange that the place you believe in is exactly the place you were born into (of course, I didn’t ask personally, but rather to bring up an idea, you may not be like that)?
D. Do you think that a person, for example, who has an adult family with a structured way of life for himself and his children, should come to the discussion with an open approach as if he were able to change his life? Does that sound logical to you?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for your brief comment, which is an opening to the discussion. I am addressing the question in a somewhat personal way to clarify it.
You probably answered my second question yes, I assume you did not mean me in particular but rather every person as a person. If that is the case, I would be happy to understand why I sometimes see disdain (even in yours, I do not act like that) in certain groups that act according to education and the like. How are they worse than any person whose opinion is influenced by their emotions, one of which is education, and what is the secret of the magic that allows you to know that I (for example, you) am not affected by the sum of your emotions.
Thank you and sorry for the style. It is really understanding.

I don't know what kind of twist you're aiming for. I do despise people who rely on their upbringing as an argument. Someone who says I act this way because that's how I was raised is indeed deserving of contempt. But if someone makes arguments, and from the outside it seems that they are influenced by their upbringing, it is not deserving of contempt. We are all like that, although it is worth trying to overcome this failure. You have no way of knowing that you have overcome it, and you will probably never really succeed. You can try. The contempt is for those who don't try at all.
