Is this for any tangents that might go offtopic or something more deliberate ? <| sep |> if assange is dead it ' s proof wikileaks is compromised you twat <| sep |> Upvoted for visibility . I guess you can search the files on your computer . I don ' t know anything about that though , maybe someone else can answer . <| sep |> Not hardly ! First , both hovercraft and maglev predate even naive clinical diagnosis of trauma as a psychological condition . Even now , it ' s all rolled under a single ineffective diagnosis of PTSD in spite of substantial evidence that indicates it is far more complex than that . Current cutting edge psychology doesn ' t have a good handle on trauma . Second , the fundamental nature of rebirth adds a detail that adds considerably complexity to the problem . Persistent consciousness is virtual , but the underlying biological mind is still there . That biological mind doesn ' t change after all , it resets to the original rebirth state every time someone dies . In addition to the already poorly understood nature of trauma , you inject a second perspective . For older soliders who served before rebirth , trauma can explain a fair amount . For those that served after , though , battlefield conditions are far less likely to leave a strong impression , given that death and violence don ' t stick . In either case , though , having a fixed point of view working in the same head as one that evolves over time would eventually result in dissociation for the literal reason that there are two minds at work . Dissociation is preferable to the alternative in this case where the virtual mind can no longer distinguish between itself and the biological one as there is literally no difference between memory and sensory input . Carried long enough , the result would clinically look like schizophrenia . Until the nature of rebirth is understood , you can ' t really treat the problem , only the symptoms . And even then , unless a faction figured out how to hack the virtual mind , one couldn ' t reverse the condition . The VS solution to this was found by accident in the form of the Sentinel project . By filtering IO through the amygdala , the most debilitating symptoms are mitigated as any memory that triggers an emotion is stopped in its tracks . That strategy is not without flaws . Schizophrenia is replaced by a varying degree of sociopathic tendencies , and all suffer a degree of a loss of personal agency . That is why the Sovereignty only allow the sentinels the maximum rank of Disciple they are literally incapable of leading . The other factions , less willing to go down the path of what amounts to partial lobotomy , opt to treat the problems with drugs , counseling , and increasingly long periods of RR and regular reinstantiation . Finally , it must be noted that this is a longterm problem with rebirth , and so the phenomenon is relatively recent so studies into it are in their infancy .
