i am not sure anyone can be completely free from indoctrination,,,,, but the person who is raised in a non-indoctrinating manner, does not feel limited nor pressured, due to race/gender/society,,,,, they are open to pick and choose from what the world has to offer,,,,,,,, they are not restrained from nor forced to be a certain way
a little example: my daughter was raised for the first 5 years, in what i consider a non-indoctrinating environment,,, she like frilly "girl " dresses and hats to wear,, she liked to play the drums,,,, she liked her dolls and her dump truck,,,,,, upon entering the first grade,, she came home and said "well, mom, at school there are "boy things and girl things" ,and ways to behave,,, i know its not true, but i am going to act the "girl" way,, so i fit in,,,",,,, this was said very clearly by a 6 year old! so i would guess, in a way, she down deep was free from set ways to be,,, yet at the same time, was going to play along with society

Suggested Reading: Alasdair McIntyre, "After Virtue." This is question rooted in modernity's fixation with freedom as being experienced, appropriated and expressed as an absolute. We are all "indoctrinated", and it is not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, it is the condition for the possibility of a great deal of good.

Utter and complete selfishness. Self is all he would know, all he would be focused upon.
