For years I pushed back against "everyone's got this cultural trauma". And of course some people have more intense histories and/or more present blockage than others, but in the last few years I've come to appreciate that indeed, everyone is traumatized.https://twitter.com/fortelabs/status/1163320020161585153 …

Agreed with Qc on both counts here. Might have to invent new words to talk clearly about this though, either some weird mashup like "unem" (short for Unresolved Emotion) or finding some nice latin root & remixing it. Or ofc a new metaphor, as "trauma" comes from physical trauma.

"seldu'u" in lojban would be "that which causes emotional distress", could be shortened for english purposes to "seldu"... ...mmm I think metaphor may be a better bet. In any case, I need to sleep.
