RE: The Origin of Psychological Trauma

in #psychology7 years ago

i agree with you, until the last paragraph
As long as we are bound to our biological bodies and technology keeps increasing, psychological traumas will only become more prevalent.
there i think lies the solution. if we use the information available to see what is happening we could steer in the direction we want. isn't this the point of information and technology?

Sort:  

not really. At the end the problem is existential dread. Immortality is torture.

don't know about immortality, never experienced that. in theory i'd agree with you... too much of the same is boring and becomes torture.
couldn't an existential dread be resolved if we could experience more (all the literature and knowledge available a click away and the technology that allow us more time to spend for our whatever we do - the research done on the human body and mind)... search and find, explore and define, expand our horizon to the point where you could say " (I) am" ? (or find an answer that brings you peace?)

I am not sure. perhaps with future technologies we can.
