| #4 Neoteny is what happens when Wild animals are tamed and become pets. Dogs are permanent wolf puppies. Most people are now state pets. |

| #2 There is another tack on that. The article is somewhat generalizing and I would contend that flexibility, or rather a persistent ability to learn 'new tricks', does not equate immaturity. The problem may be that the educational system produces moral liliputans by means of deconstructions and moral equivalencies. The result is a person that may have a mirage of self-esteem, but cannot have self-respect. |
