Thank you so much for this article and also thanks for posting it as a separate sound reading on YouTube. Makes it easier to share. No description of anything is perfect. But this one sounds good and offers some hope.

All my research confirms this basic premise. I am no doctor just been struggling with PTSD - diagnosed by Boston University Center for Anxiety Related Disorders - all my long life and have consulted with and been examined by specialists and general practitioners alike. The summary is this:

“Given adequate stress the trauma response inevitable and universal.”

I think it is all about complexity, complexity of Nature. We just capture small amount of information, and we process it with reduction mechanism. We are very far away from processing vast amount of information created increasingly. That leaves us with poor predictions. The gap between the speed of information creation and our ability, including all artificial attempts, to process it is increasing. This is inevitable. The problem is how to manage this inevitability. Embrace the inevitability.

What do you consider as free will ?

And what makes you believe that we have free will?

Perhaps let’s phrase it slightly different. There were two possibilities: either you answer my question or you don’t. Now, something, whatever it is, triggered you to answer the question. Do you have an idea what this trigger might have been? I was asking because the Free Will topic is very interesting and I love to hear the different points of view.

Yeah, questions over questions, but this is how we can enhance our understanding as much as possible.
