When addressing politics, we must accustom ourselves to think and speak about the actions and interests of specific, named leaders rather than thinking and talking about fuzzy ideas like the national interest, the common good, and the general welfare. Once we think about what helps leaders come to and stay in power, we will also begin to see how to fix politics. Politics, like all of life, is about individuals, each motivated to do what is good for them, not what is good for others.
The Dictator's Handbook

The cognitive maturity fallacy occurs when one takes as a given capabilities that are actually hard-won developmental achievements. An integral meta-theory of education rejects the cognitive maturity fallacy, and thus affirms a developmental view of human learning and education. This is perhaps best summarized by saying that __humans grow and learn according to qualitatively distinct and sequentially-unfolding developmental levels of capacity, which are ethically, epistemologically, and politically important.__
