An Evolutionary-Stress Model of Medicine. This is seeing mental illness as functional adaptations w trade-offs. Old paradigm is linear w singular causal assumptions. New is nonlinear, stress creates outcomes depending on; person, timing and context. It's based on ecosystems.
It’s hard to call for a paradigm shift away from the disease model of mental illness without saying what we should shift *towards.* So, in a few words…what’s your alternative?

@milton_damian It’s not an epidemic. It’s emergence. What we’re witnessing in rising autism rates and chronic health conditions is not the result of a single cause. It’s the consequence of complex adaptive systems interacting over time—systems with initial conditions, leverage points, and

RFK Jr on autism: "Black boys -- it's down to I think about it looks like one in 12, or one in 10. So this is an epidemic like nothing we've ever seen before."

I guess this makes me: A complexity-rooted neuroecosocialist and evolutionary systems thinker. My work advances a post-linear, energy-informed view of health and human difference. I integrate complexity science, stress biology, and cooperative evolution to redesign systems—not

We have a responsibility to speak up, a requirement to take a stand, and an obligation to be a force for good.

Real unity is not a melting pot—it’s a symphony. Every voice distinct, every rhythm unique, yet moving together in shared purpose.

Both the argument that "autism is genetic" and the claims that autism is caused by vaccines, Tylenol, or parenting mistakes miss the point entirely. Autism emerges from dynamic interactions between biology, environment, and energy-sensitive adaptations—it's an emergent

There’s a push to simplify our past—but simplicity isn’t the same as unity. Real unity requires truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. We owe it to our children to tell the full story, so they can build something better.

All of us—no matter our background—adapted to stress in different ways. Some of us carry visible histories, others carry inherited burdens that are harder to name. What if we could explore all of that together—without judgment, but with honesty?
