There’s the dead guy you don’t like. Afaik, ACE theory is just from the last ~30 years, so obviously that wasn’t developed to discuss yet. So I’m not impressed by an 1969 article, you’re not impressed by the comeback of a century old psych theory. Fair enough.

In the realm of the hungry ghost is 15 years old. Adults of any age can report an ace score, things like divorce and cps file are hard evidence. Psychology is a science and science evolves, history does not. Even when people distort it, what happened, happened. All the same I can agree that it's fair enough.

Thanks you. I knew the idea, not the abbreviations. So the exchange wasn’t entirely wasted. I appreciate you confirming my suspicion on the hippie generation, and defining the abbreviation for me. I hope you have a good night and great sleep.

Hope you have a good night too.

15? A Tennessee public health doctor was advocating for it around the turn off the century, but if course he was fired, records were scrubbed. Nice Tibetan Buddhist reference. In fact, I highly recommend reading the Bardo Thotle. Lots of allegory, allusion, metaphor, and simile, like any religious precursor to any psychological theory -- including the pioneers, Freud et al. 😉

Hope you have a good night too.

Thanks. Nothing wrong with a friendly exchange, even banter.
