Venting so much trauma in this world

[m4rius]

all i see is trauma left and right, everywhere. is it a stretch to say trauma is overrated as fuck? i'm very confident that i'd live a much happier and more fulfilling life if i had never been able to process trauma.

there are also what i like to call "mini-traumas." most people get them. they're basically just little negative memories that stick to you and still influence you, but not severely enough to be classified as PTSD. this primitive, overprotective trauma mechanism is worthless nowadays and too risky in developing harmful behavior.

mother nature wants you to be hypervigilant because all it cares about is for you to pass down your genes and secure you and your offspring's lives out of instinct. it doesn't care about your personal happiness, only the end result so that genes get passed down. we are slaves to our biological instincts, emotionally enslaved from the moment we were born.

as a result, i'd imagine there was little incentive for us to ever evolve past our outdated brain structure until recently. now that we're more technologically capable than ever, this is the time for our brains to evolve. but it's not going to happen as quickly as we'd like unless we force it.

look, the feelings behind trauma can be useful, but their intensity needs to be tuned all the way down. that's all.

i can't wait to be fearless, life is too short to live in fear. it's laughable, but I can't laugh forever…

That's going to take a couple thousand more years of natural selection at least. We will outpace evolution with technology soon enough. I think our brains were not really meant to handle all of these new stimuli.

According to I forget who, humans and ai will reach singularity within 21 years. I think it's an overly optimistic prediction but becoming an ai feels like it could be like dying without dying so I'll take it lol, forget my human bullshit, make me a perfect if wonky ai lmao

I'm taking it with a grain of salt but, something to think about I guess...

Then again.
I want nature fear. I want to feel the fear I was supposed to feel.
Nothing is truly wrong with us, our body is doing what it can to protect us, our bodies built this to defend us from what ever danger encounters us.

This fear is not wrong, our reactions aren't wrong.
They are for this time, this technology and this world. But not for this planet.

It is our environment that needs ti change FOR the human, because our environment isn't very human psyche friendly.

The fear we have - it was meant for stepping on sticks at night. For seeing some scary shape in the middle of a dark forest.
Not for crying about grades, being overwhelmed with a job, or not knowing what to do with your life..
but those things have become normal parts of our lives. And that is really sad :/

I'm also not against modernism, im
Not against technology. I just want it to be more fitting to the human (specifically its psyche because who cares abt the body)
