also interesting enough

you can technically line a spaceship with a field bulkhead of water, provided you use hydrodynamics to circulate the water in the bulkhead containers to avoid expansion.

i digress. bulk water like this (at a width of several cm) can halt ionizing radiation by half. you can extend this with wider bulkhead containers for the ship. this in fact helps protect space vessels from ionizing radiation from solar flares etc

yes, nasa has tested the hell out of this

trauma makes the predisposition to it come forth

genetics still plays an important role itself, due to gene expression.

just like gestational exposure of air pollution to a mother can increase the odds of autism spectrum disorder.

​

Causes of ADHD

Brain injury.

Exposure to environmental risks (e.g., lead) during pregnancy or at a young age.

Alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy.

Premature delivery.

Low birth weight.

lemme tell you traumatic brain injuries suck

had one at 9, 17, 20 and a huge one at 37 (the perils of being a lumberjack. no one gets out of that industry unscarred unless they only work one day).

Prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAH, a component of air pollution, raises the odds of behavior problems associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, at age 9, according to researchers at the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health at the Mailman School of ...Nov 5, 2014

boys tend to have the greatest risk of inheriting or ending up adhd

air pollution is liable to be one of the main causes of why so many more kids are being born neurodivergent

never mind all the chemicals in the water, especially here in illinois with the coal ash and pesticides/herbicides which end up back in the water supplies (this is also why kidney disease is the largest death machine in illinois)

brains are sensitive organs. it does not take much to mess them up

and ptsd/cptsd/neglect/sexual abuse/physical abuse can mess up a young mind like a grenade will mess up an apple tree

​

this is primarily because of how ptsd/cptsd will rewire the brain. so that someone who did not actually begin life in early development as lear4ning disabled, ocd or adhd, ends up being stuck as neurodivergent due to how the ptsd rips the brain apart

​

a couple good examples of this. in the season 3 of the boys, mothers milk talks about his bipolar and ocd and trauma because of how someone threw a car through his house and killed his family. in doing this, he ends up having to do an ocd ritual in order to maintain and facilitate that actionary. because he believes if he did this, things would have been different

​

the legend of korra also touches on this when amon terrorizes korra. her trauma responses are many, and even by the end of the series she is NOT well, nor who she used to be.

that hyperarousal and hypervigilance, mixed with shame and guilt bring many people to their knees mentally

​

the book that was adapted to hulu for catch 22 by joseph heller also offers several classic examples of how people change with ptsd.

​

the show mash, is also a good study on ptsd across a broad spectrum of characters. korra, catch 22, and mash are both two of my comfort shows because of the ways they each tackle ptsd in characters

repeated abuse (physical/sexual/psychological) pre-16 falls under complex ptsd

suffered almost my entire life it.

the change in people who are afflicted with it is incalculable :(

so yea. ive known for decades my brain is fucked.

but at least i went to a doctor and got help back in the end of 2021

quite a bit of data also suggests neglect, physical/sexual abuse can lead to adhd and other learning disabilities.

cptsd, ptsd, bp2, mdd, adhd (full host of learning disabilities), asperger's. several tbi's. sexual abuse. physical abuse. physical trauma.

words cannot express how i hate not being a normal person my entire life

one of the reasons gen-x is so jaded and dubious.

we set in classrooms and school libraries across the country

only to see tragedy

we were thrilled all morning

that ended after ~70 seconds

yet most of still dream of stepping into the dark void above

2100 humans will live underground
remember how they said 1.5c for the past 40 years
mean while we passed that long ago. 2.8 is still a pipe dream because it means human have to change their entire civilization. and we both know that will not happen until gen z and millennials get in charge of policies that gen x and the baby boomers were too apathetic in their capitalism to fix

exaggerating the dangers. shell oil did that since the late 1950s, when they knew oil production would wreck the environment. dont get me started on oil tar sands.

when corporations rule politics over the world over, expecting any type of long term change which does not profit them is a pipe dream

because 500ppm co2 isnt the issue

nor is a million tones of cfcs getting put into the atmosphere each year

nor is the bacteria overgrowth in baffin bay and the arctic oceans which raises the water temperature because the result of bacteria growth is heat

never mind the methane deposits going up, or the fact that the arctic has literally been on fire for years or that every mountain top glacier is melting at unprecedented rates, that the swiss alps is a forest now

no. it cant be humans destroying the planet, it must be the ozone layer? not industrialization, or the fact that we burn up 4 earths worth of resources a year. it cant be all the vehicles and coal we burn

no. it has to be the ozone layer

get a grip and wake up and smell what you're shoveling

what humans started 200 years ago. will not be stopped by the ozone hole fixing itself. our childrens children will inherit a wasteland because of what humans have done. mean while boomers think everything is fine and they refuse to take any methods to fix the issue?

but it's the ozone
