/wiz/ - Wizardry

this is crap
it presents an image of how a human being should develop and claims this is actually how it does
for example people in the 19th century developed maturity very quickly and could be seen as psychologicaly adults in their teens
there's also too many personalities and quirks for this to be accurate

Consider however that the 19th century had:

Strict and largely inescapable career paths - if you even got into one.

Limited education, but with largely uniform (two tier) content optimised for market value OR strategic thinking

Large and active family groups with further social development expected when it wasn't explicitly required by the local culture (e.g. freemasons lodges, workplace unions, church socials, pubs etc.)

true for most ages of humanity, with the 19th century also having:

Consistent and dramatic expansion of resources under management

New industries invented in the space of a year with immense economic consequence

all of those combined did the work in the image as second and third order effects. In the modern age where the majority of families end in divorce, where the average period of continuous employment is 4-5 years, where entire industries shut down overnight, where communities are actively balkanised and managed as a resource to be exploited and where labour unions are painted as a hostile foreign force - all of those steps have to be taken intentionally.

Stunted adults maybe

How many people do you think actually get a chance to fully develop?

The vast majority of people do not have emotional intelligence

Hilarious to be in the second "bad" part of each of these.

I hit 30 not too long ago, been trying to see if there is anything at all that I could reasonably do to change.
Feel like for the most part I'm already set in stone. Every "improvement" feels fake and deep down I know I'd just be pretending.

I hate these things because to me it looks like more analysis, more observation, reaching the same conclusions that I am fundamentally broken in ways I can't undo.

Maybe I'm too feeble minded to properly use these things, but I don't believe mental work can undo what real physical things did to you. idk if that makes any sense.
Searching for solutions inside your head when it's your head that is an accumulation of all kinds of problems.
Can't think myself into becoming unstunted.

Since you say therapy helped, would you be willing to expand on how and why? You mention the realization, so? What was the actual solution to that?
Reading through your link to me it looks like just another way one can look at cause and effect. As with most psych shit I never see the fix.

fascinating, i wanna read that when i'm sober but the picture has been thought-provoking already in a unsober state!

most of humanity was hanging on by their fingernails and scraping by and procreating before their brains even fully develop that ability for that level of EQ…
and by the time they reach that point, stress from raising a family under the conditions usually defers that emotional work for the next generation, and so the cycle of samsara continues
