Hi
I am catching upon Graham's presence on youtube. I have read all of his non-fiction books. I haven't encountered any discussion of the PTSD response of survivors of the Younger Dryas catastrophe. I'd expect hyper-vigilance resulting in obsessive observation of the heavens. This could have led to the development of fixed observational points and hence the priority need to organise for social organisation around that imperative - hence farming.
My curiosity concerns the question as to whether our culture is in fact trauma informed.Is our culture the consequence of historic PTSD?
I welcome arguments as to why this is a bad idea.
