The only thing that can stop American Dynamism™ is the country's unresolved collective trauma

Commerce can always be reset and rebooted, but the "body keeps the score" and you cannot pave over emotional pain

And that applies to the national body politic as well

time heals. younger generations won’t inherit the emotional pain

there was a ton of trauma in the 70s regarding Vietnam war, stagflation, etc but it went away by 90s

i agree that things are bad right now but i believe 90s and early 2000s were way chill compared to 70s and early 80s. so, something healed

I don't think it went away...

Social cohesion ATL's right now in the USA

And younger generations do inherit emotional pain via epi/genetic changes. The memory is stored and passed on to offspring
