One example I can think of with regards to people “graduating” from philosophies is the idea that people can graduate out of arguably “adolescent” political philosophies like libertarianism and socialism.
Despite the people in the EA/rat-sphere dismissing socialism out of hand as an “adolescent” political philosophy, actual political philosophers who study this for a living are mostly socialists (socialism 59%, capitalism 27%, other 14%)
