36:18Now PlayingGrowth, like progress, is a culture bound Western ethos. In Japan, growth is collectivist, in the West, it is individualistic.
Growth is desirable, a goal (teleology), and linear-derivative. Not always true. Infantilism is a positive adaptation in certain environments, for example. Growth is cyclical (Freud). There is no end goal, it is about survival (evolutionary).
Growth is not the same as skill acquisition, personal autonomy, agency, independence.
