Self & Other As A Developmental Achievement

·11 min·1 clip

The host reminds us that we once never thought of ourselves as a person, revealing identity as a capacity we grew into.

This episode explores the developmental psychology of self and other, arguing that our fundamental sense of identity is not innate but a constructed capacity that emerges in childhood and solidifies in adolescence. The host posits that recognizing this construction allows us to potentially transcend conventional self-other boundaries and see identity with greater nuance.
