My only response is, you have directly violated my request to take this matter into a private message, thus invalidating all arguments you sustained in your last post. If you had no desire to take this to a private message at my request, you insinuate that you were stung my my last riposte and continued the debate in a public forum to regain what little respect you had to begin with. If, by "No desire", you mean to say you have no desire to continue the debate, why post that elegant response in the first place? If, by "No desire", you intend to continue this debate, albeit in a public forum, it seems to me that you intend to appear as educated as possible to readers of this forum other than myself, which in turn leads me to believe you value your ego above rational thought. If you value hubris over rational behavior, you have reached the point where I can safely say that in my opinion, you are immature.
Check and mate, sir.
Invalid. This would only be absolutely true If we isolated a child post utero, void of any stimulation (which is purely a though experiement, as the childs brain cicuits would atrophy and die without stimulus) . Brain development begins In Utero at the ectoderm stage in the first trimester. Levels of nutrients and hormone levels in even the first trimester are influencing gene expression for later cognition. As we accept that our thought experiement is not possible, and that development occurs in time, It only stands to reason that initial cognitive maturity is a function of time.
Whether one achieves pure realisation through Hegels Dialectic, is not exclusively a case of what individualists like to call choice, but through a process of our movement through the social vector field. There may be certain epigenetic effects that put us into juxtaposition that increase the chance for maturity to happen. The reason why the vast majority of us reach a common level of maturity, is due to the mean direction and weighting of social vectors that affect our gene expression in similar ways.
ALL cognitive development is a function of time, the probability to mature is a condition of prexisiting epigenetic possibilities, and the dialectic of successive metarealities, which If you are an objectivist (As I am), are externally driven and internally realised within physical reality.
Current understanding does not reduce congnitive development to either an exclusively genetic or social basis. No psychologist with a firm understanding of both classical roots would suggest the fact that maturity does not come with age. It simply is NOT a fact.
Could you be more ambiguous? Which psychologists? Can be a sign? You have self referenced a circular argument that states "By doing action X, I am doing action X". If we wish to talk about classical thinking, then consider that thinking in purely binary positions, is a classical sign of immaturity.
What about those who have considered the antithesis and contrasted it with their theisis and see no functional, or survival reason to change PURELY the UI?
This ultimately depends on the weighted direction of the mean social vector field. Within a capitalistic framework, those who distribute inequity are mature insofaras they forfill the basic premise of capitalism. Accumulation of capital. (Which requires a particular set of gene expressions that drive this egodriven, self-maximizing behaviour).
No desire.
