I mean, women in their 40's in the U.S. are tested every year for breast cancer, and were they terrified of the testing until they die? What about men tested for color cancer, prostate cancer ...?

The generic factor is also true for these deseases. If a woman has a family history of breast cancer, would she live in terror every year just before the breast cancer screening?

I think you are overplaying the fear factor. When breast cancer screening just started, maybe there was this fear. But after 20 years, it becomes part of life, and people adapt. It is considered part of Seancean life. Most people will just say "I walk in the light," and do not believe their relatives are damane. If it were ture, they just say "oh, I was fooled." Like in our world, we all of sudden find out a nice person we thought we knew was actually a pedophile. Do we live in constant terror that all our firends were really all pedophiles, just undiscovered?

If you think about it, compare this to Randland, where they should be constant terrified about Male channelers came up, all of a sudden, AND there is no testing whatsoever.

Well, it took centuries for most people to understand breeding/genetics - 02/06/2010 08:57:43 PM 716 Views
Nobody knows about Sul'dam because it takes them extra long to learn. - 03/06/2010 07:58:41 AM 1017 Views

I think it's seen as something that happens to other people. - 02/06/2010 02:20:09 AM 744 Views

This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1154 Views
That doesn't make sense. Are you sure they don't put the BRACELET on the girls, not the collar? - 04/06/2010 01:35:08 AM 701 Views

As with most things in Jordan's universe, I don't think it was thought through very seriously. - 03/06/2010 08:05:04 PM 660 Views
Huh? - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM 756 Views
Sure - 03/06/2010 09:00:40 PM 764 Views
Bah... - 03/06/2010 09:51:09 PM 713 Views
Jordan definitely made mistakes with the Ajahs. In particular, the Black Ajah ones who fled. - 03/06/2010 10:56:39 PM 703 Views

I don't know if that's totally true - 04/06/2010 12:09:29 PM 633 Views
Maybe you don't read that much serious literature? I just don't see why you are arguing this. - 04/06/2010 03:47:50 PM 668 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 692 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 656 Views
meh. I prefer non-fiction most of the time - 06/06/2010 03:44:38 AM 707 Views
