I’m not sure if you’re taking the meaning here. It’s not that we stopped developing at 15, in that we’re 30+ years old with the cognitive abilities of a 15 year old, but that we were, at 15, well beyond our years, to the point where further developments weren’t really observable. Just life experience being added to the mix, able to be perceived and reflected upon with greater ability than that of your run-of-the-mill 15 year old.Personally, I would be horrified to feel that in my twenties (let alone later) I was no further developed than I was at 15. What a shit show life would be if that were actually true. I don't think Tres or Dante are really doing themselves as much credit as they probably should in that respect of their shared argument along those lines above--self-introspection twenty years after the fact is hardly very good evidence of anything.
That’s how I feel about myself, at any rate, and how I read the spirit of Tres’s stance, in that we also appear to be on the same page, that seems to have been the intended implication and effect.
