Only education can protect our societies from gradual or violent collapse.
"Piaget"
Jean William Fritz Piaget, 1896, psychologist, biologist, and cognitive scientist, famous for his work in developmental psychology and cognitive science, including the theory of stages of development.
Piaget's Three Mountain Experiment shows that other-centered thinking is much more complex and extensive than egocentric thinking, yet world leaders are still trapped in the realm of egocentric thinking, which leads to short-sighted and often self-serving decisions, resulting in a world of turmoil and instability.
In this chapter, we intend to delve into the roots of egocentric thinking, a concept rooted in human childhood yet exerting significant and profound effects on one's decision-making and perspectives throughout life. Here, we uncover the secrets that determine how the mind interacts with the surrounding world, shaping our understanding up to this day.
