I'm only saying we have to walk before we run. I'm only saying that if one
does not have a normal emotional development, all the higher stages will
suffer. In other words, to the extect that a person is neurotic, they'll
have a very hard time with seemingly unrelated cognitive functions like
logic and rationality, that such cognitve skills require a healthy emotional
foundation. So I'm not saying that emotions interfere with intellect, per
se. I'm saying that emotional dysfunction has effects all the way up the
ladder.
sq: What a pile of garbage.
Even Aristotle, in his ethics, 2000 years ago discusses child prodigy who
can be wonderfully good at Arithmetic and yet have poor Eudaimonic
potential. They may indeed be highly Eudaimonic, but one cannot tell until
later. So, you have it backwards don't you? And no wonder considering your
intellectual aesthetics.
I simply thank heaven you have no access to authority in any capacity
whatever, but a little sad in that you have to support your own obsessive
inadequacy by sounding off in this forum to people who do not have sense to
ignore you. That is to say, they should indeed listen to you if they wish to
be mislead regarding the MoQ.

Aristotle? There are a number of areas where the ancients simply are not
adequate and developmental psychology is certainly one of them. Turning to
Aristotle for insight into developmental psychology is a little like turning
to Plato for insights into computer graphics or Ptolemy for astrophysics.
Its dumb.
