>I read a scientific study about the toddlers. It's clear to me from this that either God exists or we project higher metaphysical truths from ourSelves and I personally lean toward the latter. It's an innate part of humanity, not a bias we grow up to learn and fall prey to, unlike your Civilization aimed NPCism.
Again, you're not differentiating one stage of human development from the next, you're seeing the toddler with its bias and wonder and selfish breast-clinging and taking that as the standard for all humanity at every stage of development: be a toddler when you're a 40 yr old man, you'll not fare well.

We do in fact change into totally different people as we exist in the world, no matter what the world is to us individually it takes a very dim minded person to continue to enjoy .. say.. hitting a drum over and over for all their life. We change constantly; it's what drives fads and shopping for instance.

Re: Arete and Ataraxia. But this is understood as simply Education; you go to the school and learn your way out of toddler-like errors by learning the most effective way to think and be; which is always going to involve pure logic and not being bad to other people. You might just as well argue that since we crap ourselves as babies that we should stop potty training babies and begin to crap ourselves all the time as adults and young adults just because we happen to do this when we're very small; i.e. just because we happen to do this before we've been taught the proper way.
