What is the Nature of Development? 

We exist in an age characterized by incessant acceleration. This reality is notably marked by a constant craving for more stimuli, a tendency toward multitasking, and excessive consumption. However, scientific advancements and the corresponding changes occurring within the brain necessitate time. Development hinges on the ability to retain information, engage in reflective thought, understand one’s cognitive processes (metacognition), and experiment with new applications through lived experiences. While these activities may ostensibly slow us down, they are fundamental in transforming us into more enriched individuals.
