Good point. Which makes me wonder if there are further disadvantages beyond the one mentioned in the article. Perhaps panic-suppression is actually a disadvantage in most life-or-death situations? Or that it's such a desirable trait in high-risk professions that people with it tend to enter these professions and die young?
- gaius 18y agoPerhaps panic-suppression is actually a disadvantage in most life-or-death situations? I've done offshore survival training, dive training and worked as a lifeguard and one thing that's very obvious is that what usually kills people who get themselves into a situation (that on paper they're equipped to deal with) is panicking and/or refusal to accept the reality of that situation. Basically I cannot think of a case in which a trained person would benefit from losing control like that.
