  • Summary

  • We are evolved beings. In fact, we’re more or less the same species we were 100,000 years ago. Yet, as individuals, we continue to develop until we die—as individuals and as cultural groups. Theories of adult development such as those proposed by Abraham Maslow, Lawrence Kohlberg, and Clare Graves are making a comeback. In this episode of Social Evolution, Michael and Max talk about the delicate interplay of nature and nurture. Then they discuss Spiral Dynamics, a popular “theory of everything,” which weaves together a number of threads in “bio-psycho-social” development.  Biological EvolutionDarwinismFitness landscapeLimits to cognitionLong tail of excellence Evolved Cuteness: Dan DennettNeuroplasticityOutliersEgalitarianism10,000 hoursAdult Developmental PsychologyNabokov’s LolitaLanguage Acquisition and AgeSpiral DynamicsClaire GravesBeck and CowenDunbar’s NumberAnimismMagical Thinking“They worshipped strength, because it is strength that makes all other values possible.”DaimyoHobbes’s LeviathanJames C.
