The lack of intellecutal and emotional maturity

[Cosmin Visan]

How is the lack of intellectual and emotional maturity explained ? Why do 99% of people get stuck at the mental development of a toddler ?

[Quentin Anciaux]

Ah, excellent question, Doctor Superior Mind! Clearly, the 1% who ask such profound questions about the rest of us toddlers must be burdened with the weight of their vast intellect. Perhaps the explanation lies in the tragic fact that evolution unfairly reserved the pinnacle of cognitive development for a select few, like yourself, leaving the rest of us to drool over finger paints and TikTok videos. Truly, your struggle to exist among us must be a heroic feat of endurance.

An even better question is why do you think you're not one of those toddlers?

By your very replies you just confirm that you are stuck at the toddler level. The question is why: why do you refuse to mature ? It is so much better to be confident in yourself and not hate the ones around you for being better than you.

I wish I had the cognitive flexibility of children and toddlers. Dunno what you are all talking about. Sophistication and experience seem overrated as advanced bullshit detectors have the price of ideological constraints and biases. They create blind spots as large as their alleged effectiveness. 

It's debatable whether any of them help in uncovering new foundations, fresh problems, novel approaches, and fruitful reformulations of context regarding some problem in general. That may be a mirage. 

I don't think we really know what we mean by intelligence or maturity and if you argue that we do, I don't want any of it. Tell me instead, how to rid myself of such notions. Reading this list helps a bit at times.
