Guys, you’re not going to believe it. I feel drained and like I don’t have the capacity to come up with anything relatively coherent. Again. Anyone else relate? Or are we all just scraping by? Should I have a kid? Will that fix my problems? I really don’t think it will and it’s not worth a try in the way quitting a job is, it’s not just your life. At least one more person is going to be involved, heavily. The child!!! 

On the subject of children… I mean, don’t get me wrong, it would be bad, but you have to admit, lowkey interesting, if psychology went through another deeply unethical phase. Like, I would love to try to raise children in a really controlled environment where the world is presented more matter-of-factly. I want to see what, if any, fears are innate. Are there fears we all have? Are there fears we have based on our ancestors’ experiences? Do we know the full extent that psychologically induced fear, stress, or trauma drive transgenerational epigenetic inheritance? If multiple generations experience the same traumas, are epigenetic changes more likely to stick and be passed down further than just one or two generations? Does this mean the opposite can also be true? Can something profoundly good affect one and the same way? Is there really some sort of change to the DNA itself that we just don’t realize yet? 

These questions all stemmed from a completely unrelated thought. I was thinking about what I should do with my life and if caring for a cemetery could be up my alley. I’m kinda turned off by the idea and feel like there’s weird energy or something. So, are any kids innately afraid of cemeteries? I just don’t know.
