The very concept of moral uncertainty is pretty foreign to the vast majority of humanity. Tolerance and forbearance wax and wane in popularity, but actually acknowledging that you don’t know what’s best just doesn’t happen.
The association transitivity is applied on the individual level rather than on the ideas of the individuals. Most individual’s beliefs and thoughts may remain almost static through time, and maybe it became the default level of association transitivity because of it.
As you said that actually being uncertain really doesn’t happen because the development of concrete world view is important for survival as the person grows up from childhood. Schools certainly don’t focus much on uncertainty itself. It has to be derived from the individual’s own willingness to seek out alternatives and develop the habit of uncertainty mindset by reading a bit too much.
Society at large don’t encourage uncertainty mainly because it is inefficient to apply on a massive scale. It would lead to too much chaos and misunderstanding. People wouldn’t be able to communicate effectively. Having the luxury to be uncertain is not something most people can afford, which would lead to a very different type of societal structure and interoperability.
As a result, we apply the association transitivity on the individuals because ideas themselves are too ephemeral.
