Age 7 is also when Literacy becomes prominent. Human children, those especially gifted in the ability to read, write, and do arithmetic, become proficient on a rudimentary level. However, there is an IQ disparity here, a normative distribution that rules most children at an 'average' level of intellect and capacity for abstract thought. Thus, some individuals and groups of people (societies) can be 'educated' whereas others cannot to the same degree.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2023 5:35 amBy age, a child is not totally free of egoism, by age 7 or so, the primal tribalism instinct takes over to facilitate to extend the survival of the tribe.
It is unlikely individuals at present will have species consciousness or species identity but nevertheless all humans are programmed [as inferred] fundamentally to ensure the preservation of the human species.
However with self-awareness and personal identity of individuals, some could do otherwise [i.e. exterminate the human species] in reality.
This is why the program to expedite moral progress within humanity is critical.
Thus there is a distribution of moral understanding as well...and a distribution of sophistication of Self-Identity.

We know that a specific area of the brain is for thinking. We know this from several sources, one of them being that people with injury to that area of the brain cannot think.
