Evolutionary Learning: PTSD and CPTSD Symptoms.
Events that cause us fear, suffering, and threat to our lives leave a strong, everlasting mark. Either consciously or subconsciously, what is recorded plays back over and over again given the correct environment that makes the connection and presses the play button. We have recorded some information, but not all of it is of happy memories.
I was fascinated with the fact that I could record something on a cassette tape when I was little. I found it amazing, and those in my family did not share the same complete astoundment that I felt when I discovered that I was able to record sound, my voice and the voices in my surroundings on a cassette tape.
Now much older, I have decided that there is a recording nature in literally everything, from various crystals to the tiniest atoms, and the main point that I am getting to, our brains.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the unwanted intrusion of some of the more challenging recordings that we have collected along the way. It isn’t the upsurge of happy memories, but rather the deeply ingrained bad memories and traumas that we might prefer to ignore or forget.
Sometimes in PTSD, emotions become uncontrollable, which is the distinguishing factor that makes it Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. CPTSD makes it even more difficult to navigate the world, let alone face and move on from the memories that keep intruding.
Every episode pops up like a “surprise motherfucker” moment. Choice in shelving it for later on? forget it. PTSD and CPTSD is instant like that, and there is no going back until some sort of retreat and processing can be taken.
I sometimes like to think of PTSD and CPTSD as an overloaded cassette tape. This idea does not work out in rational reality since you cannot overload recordings on a cassette, it just stops each side, but the recording nature of the human brain is different. It certainly has much more capacity than a cassette tape, and in some ways, it may well be infinite, until physicality for the brain ceases to exist at least.
Studies show that predatory induced fear causes PTSD like changes in the brains and behaviour of wild animals. The article goes on to say that:
“Retaining a powerful enduring memory of a life-threatening predator encounter is thus clearly evolutionarily beneficial if it helps the individual avoid such events in the future3,4,8. Contemplating this, in light of the many PTSD-like changes manifest in laboratory rodents in response to predator-induced fear19, has prompted a growing number of biomedical researchers to propose3,5,6,7,9,10,11 that “PTSD is the cost of inheriting an evolutionarily primitive mechanism that considers survival more important than the quality of one’s life”12. In this view, PTSD-like changes in the brain and behaviour are not unnatural or “maladaptive”, but are rather evolutionary adaptations which entail costs, such as “hypervigilance”12,19,20 and the avoidance of trauma-related cues19, that provide the benefit of increasing the probability of survival, by increasing the likelihood of detecting a life-threatening danger (hypervigilance), and reducing the probability of encountering one (avoidance).”
Powerful memories that do not let us forget are the one’s that will help keep us safe in future times. Sometimes PTSD and CPTSD is making a faulty connection, because the situation that we are in can replay events so vividly where there really is no harm to come, but in the event of future run in’s with exceptionally predatory people, of which there are many + more growing with the generational learning created through the use of social media, PTSD and CPTSD serve as an evolutionary stage in learning that will absolutely help me in moving onward in my life at least.
The ability to record things is amazing, in whatever medium. I now have a new understanding of PTSD and CPTSD and how we learn by what we live. There is cost, but I am more than happy to pay for what I need.
Be happy :-)
Wow! That rhino really knows how to him pleasure. And the other guy, masturbating himself while watching the scene 😍😝

Pro Tools 11 is here.
The leading software in music and post-production recording is back with its latest and most advance product... yet. The new AAX plug-ins use the renovated Avid Audio Engine, which main focus is to enable the user to maximize the number of operations with the least CPU processing. It promises to be smooth and, at the same time, extremely productive.
With Pro Tools 11, Avid wants to stay at the top of the audio software world. And they definitely will.
This picture was taken the day I recorded "I See Love" in the studio.
Damn we're good (I think)
We managed to record eight drum tracks with Musti in six hours! I'm not kidding and I find it hard to believe myself. It just happened. We listened to the tracks straight through and we both we're happy with the results. CRAZY. Today we will start building a bass stack and first record some demo-guitars in order to get Alexi to play the bass lines nicely. Or actually not so nicely :)
So this is where we are at: eight songs and two more to go. The two that are to be recorded are more or less acoustic songs, so there will be some suitcase drumming and skiffle / junk / influence involved, no need to bang the drums on these two.

We set us up a recording bomb. This means we started working on brand new songs! We did four drum tracks yesterday and today we will do more. Our aim is to record at least 11 of the new songs and see what we come up with. The new stuff is going to rock, I'm telling you. -tmu
Sunshine and a cup of tea
Definitely for our own, but also for the amusement of others we've just finished recordings for our upcoming first album. T-mu has done a tremendous job at Not Even Productions mixing our album to its fullest potential. A few nods here and little to the left and we're done. The recordings took place in several locations, mainly in Oulu and Tampere though in different studio-like environments. Nonetheless I feel like it's going to sound exactly the way we want it to, and we've -at least I have- enjoyed this whole ride. Still, it's an even higher mountain to climb now if we want -and we do- this album spread and heard as far and in as many a place possible and also if we'd get to play more gigs than before, well that would be just super. The whole let's-make-an-album-thing has been in our heads from the start but truly kicked off last September when I visited T-mu in Tampere. We recorded bases for 10 songs. There was some new songs and some old, slightly altered. Our style has been known for jumping from side to side and borrowing from style to style still maintaining some kind of focal point and consensus. I think. We didn't want this record to be written about, or under one topic, since this whole thing was done in pieces and over time. And even the 600km distances of our band makes us use our imagination and our computers a little more, it was fun and a hugely innovative process. Besides, we decided the album name to be Inertia, which can be extended to be labeled as a pseudo force (in centrifugal things) or a fictional force. So that included I think we had a quite broad field of choice. And because it's a mechanical term it allowed us to try some really fun stuff on the side. I think it's going to be a funny, rockin' little package with shitloads of attitude and g-strings. -M.
This morning I woke up with a big smile on my face . I realised I dreamt of @taylorswift all night long. I casually met her at a event and she invited me to accompany her to the studio for a writing and recording session. I had the time of my life sitting by the piano listening to the mesmerising creation process. An amazing dream come true to listen to Taylor play guitar and piano and sing for hours. Waking up with this amazing feeling made my day. It still feels so real. I’m definitely in my delulu era!!
Thank you @taylorswift for the dreamy experience I really don’t think there’s anything else I’d rather would want in my life than to hear her create ❤️
