Why does this reasoning apply to PTSD but not to other diseases? PTSD is a physical issue. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 24/10/2017 12:33:31 AM

Same with all other mental diseases.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Good article. Tom - 16/10/2017 08:05:48 PM 988 Views
Indeed it is a pathology of fear. LiterateDog - 17/10/2017 01:59:24 AM 903 Views
This makes me especially sad. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:47:51 PM 844 Views

Definitely a possibility. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:46:42 PM 849 Views

So we are back in the Age of Romanticism. Western Civilization has been there before. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:58:04 PM 882 Views
This article agrees with your assessment The Shrike - 17/10/2017 02:30:03 PM 977 Views
I appreciate your amendment. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 03:14:19 AM 1152 Views
no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside random thoughts - 17/10/2017 11:51:08 AM 878 Views

Thanks. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 798 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 859 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 835 Views
I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure it's a big deal either way. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 02:56:09 AM 789 Views
Nods Roland00 - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 805 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 993 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 870 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? damookster - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 855 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 1034 Views
Stop. Now. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 793 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 832 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. The Shrike - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 870 Views
That's reasonable. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 837 Views
Third party website? I fully support that. The Shrike - 20/10/2017 12:41:33 PM 958 Views
Peace for our time! I agree with everything you wrote here. I'm always a sucker for more studies. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:03:31 AM 468 Views
Well argument settled becuase they already exist random thoughts - 23/10/2017 01:46:55 PM 767 Views
Yeah but they don't necessarily exist for works of literature usually read at the university level The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:28:35 PM 789 Views
That is true but it could fixed if there was more demand random thoughts - 24/10/2017 10:00:21 PM 806 Views
I feel like I now need a trigger warning for trigger warnings. *NM* The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:48:47 PM 545 Views

Re: Oh please Ghavrel - 20/10/2017 12:01:02 AM 854 Views
What is your basis for arguing that "trigger warnings" are beneficial? Tom - 20/10/2017 07:19:42 PM 827 Views
Ha! Joke's on you! We don't do interrogatories in the criminal system. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:01:54 AM 853 Views

Eh, I don't think that's accurate. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:04:58 AM 766 Views
An unnecessary tool.... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 783 Views
Why does this reasoning apply to PTSD but not to other diseases? PTSD is a physical issue. Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 12:33:31 AM 780 Views

Maybe the victimhood thing is another kind of honor Cannoli - 17/10/2017 01:02:43 PM 895 Views
Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 824 Views
I apologize before hand Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:11:59 AM 813 Views

I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase Tom - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 946 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. nossy - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 1026 Views
I get irritated too. But I still keep them in my news feed as well. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:49:45 PM 814 Views

That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. Legolas - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 833 Views
