UDL: "Building Ummah Is The Only Way To Save The World" Part 2a

Nostalgia and Self-Continuity

This study’s data suggest that “the majority of people, the majority of time, report experiencing the self diachronically [no sense of lost time; “Inception”]”. Moreover, lack of continuity is a source of psychological mal-adjustment. Research showed that “approximately 15% of the participants who described themselves as diachronically dis-unified [sense of lost time] had at least a 70% chance of falling into the pathologically dissociative taxon [split personality]. None of the participants who described themselves as being diachronically unified [no sense of lost time] had that high of a probability”. Other perils of discontinuity include negative affect, anxiety, alienation, a weakening of group identification, and the emergence of group schisms, and even suicide.
