“Self-inflation is the rule in life,” wrote Robert Trivers; hence his conclusion that we fool ourselves so as better to fool others. This explains a lot of why smart folks truly believe in toxic stress, ACEs, and complex PTSD despite the obvious lack of scientific evidence.

Trauma researchers constantly ‘find’ causal links to brain or body problems that don’t exist. It’s no fluke that the ‘mistakes’ of interpreting causality run in mainly one direction. It’s the game plan of a Leftist academy to condition the public for progressive projects.

If the trauma/ CVD link is noncausal, why are they correlated? .(Option 1) Flawed research methods are most likely (self-selected samples, self-report measures). (Option 2) They may have some shared risk factors. See flow chart.

With SB458 codifying ACE theory into judicial practice, Arkansas Republicans opened all kinds of interesting possibilities for Leftist progressives.

There is an epidemic failure in politics to understand what is really happening with ACEs. I don’t think Republicans in AR have any idea they passed a bill based on a fallacy and neo-Marxism.

AR bill SB458 embeds into law an unproven CAUSAL theory of human nature (below): Is this what a Republican legislature really believes or was this the Great Arkansas Swindle?

The trauma-informed movement seems impervious to the history of how identity politics always ends badly.

Whether your political paradigm is conservative, liberal, or centrist, you must not be blind to seeing that the trauma-informed identity is a largely political construct. “When an important concept or idea has been left out of a political paradigm, those who rely on this.

Jill Levenson promotes her school’s trauma-informed program in this recruitment video for social work students. Liberal progressivism. Learn how criminals are just victims of intergenerational trauma. The training “will be transformative.”.Welcome to the revolution, comrade.

Public discourse is still largely ignorant about the intentions of the trauma-informed movement. I asked ChatGPT for the most prolific authors on trauma-informed care. It returned authors of PTSD research, which is “trauma-specific” and is different from trauma-informed care.

What is really new about the trauma-informed movement is that it created a new identity—trauma victim as emotionally-disabled consumer. By extension, this also created the trauma-informed scholar or trainer identity. These are part of identity politics that is destroying America.

Invented as a term recently in 2001, the number of papers with “trauma-informed” in the title or abstract is over 130,000. It spread like a virus. There also has been an incredible 13,233 dissertations written by PhD students who will become the next generation of academia.

“The most noteworthy aspect of this training, however, was how ACEs were tied into the progressive cultural narratives of diversity, equity, and inclusion.”. Purveyors of these narratives are our new mythmakers laying the basis for culture war in which there is no common ground.
