I'm convinced that some people's brains never fully develop.
I can't remember if it's pseudoscience or actually validated (we'll assume pseudo), but I've come across it many times: there's a running commentary in psychological development that only 33% of humans ever reach mental maturity, true adulthood. The vast majority land at adolescence ans stay there, with some never getting much past 12. To me, this has been the single greatest explanation of why ppl behave the way they do, somewhat comforting at least
I consider psychology a soft science so nothing the following list of people do I listen to without heaps of salt but... this is maybe not totally without merit? I won't go as far as saying pseudoscience. Erik Erikson, Lawrence Kohlberg, Robert Kegan, and Carl Jung have all discussed this in some way.
Personally I imagine it more like a radial/radar chart than just simple all encompassing levels.
Oh look I'm the 67%
Though mostly it's just my sense of humor that belongs to a 12 year old.
