Depression and anxiety are real, but modern psych, it's paired ethics, and pharmacology are more to blame for them than a viable solution. but yes they are real. PTSD isn't so much learned as it is ingrained, imagine a lichtenstein figure in a block of wood meeting another such figure, active current will create a contiguous path between both and burn it out, as it grows it connects to more branches of the lichtenstein figure and consumes them. In reality that is how our brains work, mental pathways, stray firing, chemical burns in the grey matter from heavy stress/fixation that induce misfires in associated neurons. You don't have active memory before about age 3 but your brain is making memory connections that just aren't indexed, but they are there behaving as a sort of ghost in the meat machine. It's why kids who get left in the crib all day come out dull and kind of fucked up, most of their hidden memories are fixation on self centered minutia. It's why circumcized boys have a lower pain tolerance, the pain pathway is much broader. In short, physical changes in our brain are natural, the issue with trauma is typically fixation, which can be natural but is usually a contextual prompt from others; eg. Toddler falls down, mommy comes over to give care, child cries. Alternatively Toddler falls down, mommy quickly ducks out of sight, toddler gets up and goes back to exploring after seeing no one saw it fall. In other words: Fixation doesn't produce a healthy coping mechanism. In a society where pederasty is considered the norm the boys will obviously grow up to be pederasts, experience defines identity, experience itself is subjective but defined by personal and social context. They wont perceive it as traumatic unless the men fucking them are cruel/rough with them. The context is that trauma and fixation is for victims and getting passed around on Thursdays in an afghan village is just a daily fact of life for all the boys, it's normal to them, being traumatized by the mundane? Unlikely. Impressions and identity are broadly based on a lived context, but can also be based on vicarious context. That's why the content of media and normalization are a massive issue. I'm not saying seeing violence creates a violent nature or the like, I am saying: >Fixation, impressionability, faulty rumination(inflammatory coping mechanisms) and trauma, these are the roots of cognitive hazard Another example is virginity and divorce rates divorce rates among arranged marriages between virgins is 2%, between a regular virgin couple is about 7-11% between a couple who mutually lost their virginity prior to their marriage the rate is higher if they fucked before an engagement and lower if they first had sex after their engagement, 12-21%. One sex partner out of wedlock? 48% for women and an additional 2-6% per partner; men it's 38% and 1-3% additional chance for divorce power partner. These people are subtly defining themselves by their own experiences. I'm not making an argument about determinism, the issue is that the coping mechanism our society encourages are shit and our morals are fucked because faggotry and divorce are socially degenerative. The natural and historical responses to such problems are products of social darwinism and proven to work Modern psych and encouraging faggotry et al are a product of hubris. That said most gay and trans appears to be induced by severe porn addiction. Maybe their choices felt natural to them but they still made choices.
