>maladaptive conditioning we receive from our families and society in general

We adapted to the world through our families and society. A human alone 50,000 years ago was a delicious meal, not a rugged individualist.

I would suggest that anything that encourages you to live an atomized life is maladaptive. We can get away with some degree of that now, but only due to thousands of years of various cult-like behaviors that built the world to be more fit for humans.
