>>11Fascinating insight into psychology of pedophilia.
Pedophiles ascribe agency and adult-level development of mind to children which are far too easily influenced by adult authority: its not that children "can't think like adults" they're not mentally capable to judge future risk and future consequences, in the developing brain(which btw fully forms only around 25) self-control is generally weak - being addicted to sexual gratification at young age irreversibly change the psyche of a child:
A child lives in the now and immediate present, and cannot anticipate the future as well as an adult. Pedophiles exploit this naivety by nurturing("Grooming") an artificial affection(which ends when the child isn't longer a child, since pedophile interest is in specific body type - not the person) designed to maximize sexual contact, use the advantage of adult over the child and promote submission to authority(which in that case becomes the pedophile).
