Scott makes a lot of good points, but frames them in a very Less Wrong kind of way, when the key to development or growth is always being able to think more clearly. You could pick any number of other developmental milestones in other categories, for children, teenagers, or adults. In the ethical bucket, children begin to recognize of abstract rules as system of dispute resolution ('he should go first because he got there first'), develop a concept of fairness, etc In the social / emotional bucket, adolescents begin desiring independence and feel peer pressure much more acutely. Is there any reason to believe that theory-of-mind-relevant developmental psychology is more important than the other parts?
