The article repeatedly says things like for some; mild trauma; at least for this group of people who successfully made it to university etc etc.
This feels like another one of those "well, duh" studies. Some people who experience mild traumatic experiences are able to learn and adapt and become better in some way for them. Others suffer, who experience similar, more, or less, traumatic experiences have different outcomes.
> People who do not recover well from a trauma and who develop chronic PTSD may perhaps have general deficits in inhibitory control, or an impaired ability to adapt control mechanisms over time, perhaps in part because of a genetic variation in cortical plasticity, Hulbert and Anderson suggest.
I mean, obviously: there has to be a neural-genetic manifestation.
I guess I just feel like there's a lot of "science news" lately that sums up to things like "dogs have four legs and seem to want to hang around humans".
I wonder, with more and more people going to university and going on to do a PhD, it seems like we're running short on ideas to write papers about.
Throwing rigor and the scientific method out of the window and relying on "everybody knows that" can not be the solution, so we will keep getting results that some people think are obvious. The difference is that what was an assumption before will be actual knowledge thereafter.
if mild trauma is basically daily occurrence its not trauma in my book
I don't want to relate highlights of my traumatic experiences, but i have only gotten past the shock stage on one event, five years afterwards. This is the breakdown my comment above references. I will throw this one here in case of need, but I have always been told I am, surprisingly to me a good listener. If you're experiencing the repercussions if shocks in your life interfering with work and hurting you or your stability, worrying family, and think i may be able to even just be a link to unburden and offer, only based on my understanding of you, but informed by three decades of start-up life i'm certain was caused by heightened worry and need for combatting challenges and securing my emotional life around work, I have time if someone needs, quite a bit next few weeks
I should only say that obvious fair caution applies, I'm just a random on the Internet, albeit i can point you to the usual profiles and personal references who will pick up and not ignore your call. So if you think you could benefit from this individual's often extreme perspectives I've been becalming and leaening from all my life, (and won't dream of introducing as distractions from your needs) I am pretty much available to reach most hours around the clock for the time being, as i hop around to try and pitch a new gig I'm shift working and so definitely awake in your time zone inside the next twenty four hours. I understand existential angst about PL philosophies of a new tech lead you can't abide by as equally as collateralisation of a structured debt financing of a early stage too nearly pre revenue... I kinda been (knocked!) around the block maybe can help save you a lap or two. I hope this isn't taken badly here im unsure about this sort of comment on HN, but i figured is a article that might attract somebody exhausted and even desperate for hope around the corner. That's why I clicked, despite i have been assiduously fine tuning my own life models lately, rather than scrabbling for anything I can hold on to.
edited typos, little cleanup i rushed the comment from my reaction/ thought, sorry for earlier messy text.
