Appreciate the responses. Not quite sure what to focus on yet. I'm still just brain storming and looking for sources on the subject.

I wondered if upbringing and life experiences that produce emotional stress wires the brain in a certain way that causes distortions in thinking that are cumulative over time. Cognitive bias is one of those as well that might be open to interpretation on this.

There is an article on this phenomenon[0] that talks about this subject. It may, or may not be passed by genes. But I think the interesting point is that this might lead to echo chambers when interacting with other individuals which could amplify distortions that could cause groups of people to see the world slightly different from a baseline.

I wonder if there is any evidence about the evolution of the mind in regard to stress tolerances.
