You might want to review the context of the phrase I quoted, Barry. The overreacters in Vaj's original formulation were not those with the high verbal comprehension and high verbal IQ, but rather those who are challenged by the verbal folks: On Jul 11, 2005, at 2:35 AM, TurquoiseB wrote: > ...that just after a "world event" that shakes > things up a little bit, and shows that the world > is a far less safe and predictable place than > people normally think it is, that there is a > spate of flaming on "spiritual" Internet chat > groups. [Vaj commented:] and after someone's paradigm has been broken shattered or bruised, someone's Lithium level is below therapeutic range, someone forgets to take their SSRI, after an Ashkenazi overclocker goes on a verbal precision rant, someone gets damage from toxic mold, vata-derrangement/unstressing due to over-meditation, doshic imbalances due to heat, joining a new cult and working to hard to maintain an exclusivity horizon.....the list goes on and on and on...
