The Biological Purpose of Arrested Development

Developmental arrest isn't about intelligence or emotions.

In this episode, I explain why it is better understood as hesitation, a waiting state, and a meaningful part of evolution via a constellation of two (or more) temporal lobe conflicts in the cerebral cortex.

I also discuss:

why childish "appeal to authority" logic can distort understanding in Germanic New Medicine
why two people in the same traumatic situation usually create different conflicts (or no conflict at all)
why developmental arrest is about waiting, not stupidity
how to help yourself or someone else understand what you're waiting for when your in developmental arrest
why growth is very rapid once those conflicts begin to resolve
the special abilities that have been developing during that waiting period

If you or someone you love seems developmentally stuck in a certain area of life, this episode offers a different way to think about that state: not as pointless failure, but as meaningful delay with evolutionary purpose.
