Is there a concept like antihormesis where steady, accumulating responses to stressors with insufficient recovery makes you more fragile rather than antifragile? Feels strange that this obvious default case and normal chronic stress response but has no word. Fragilization?

This has been my main dissatisfaction around antifragility. It theorizes the corner case without theorizing the default case. Sapolosky’s stuff is as good as it gets, and that’s very limited to zebra-level biological phenomenology. Cc

Hmm how about “trauma creep”... same phenomenological family as “mission creep” or “boiled frog effect”https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1216430025689292800?s=21 …

With focus on systemic integrity/disintegrity response rather than specific symptoms. Yep trauma creep captures it.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1216430711399317504?s=21 …

His theorizing is focused on the antfragile case though. He doesn’t offer systematic constructs or principles for thinking about the fragilization default. Unless I’ve forgotten. Been years since I read Antifragile.
