Schrödinger’s Consent and a Trauma Response: Consent-Based Morality

Schrödinger’s Cat

 

Although I began the informal practice of life coaching in 1991, I didn’t become a psychotherapist until 2011. Prior to entering the field of professional care for mental, emotional, and behavioral health (collectively “mental health”), I served as a Protective Forces member.

 

Specifically, when subcontracted to the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy, working at Pantex in the field of nuclear weapons security (2004-2008), I maintained contact with a number of nuclear physicists. Those individuals had minds which were vastly different than mine.

 

As an example, I observed many drawings, documents, and other material – upon which I won’t elaborate herein – which I found baffling (extremely confusing or difficult to understand). For an analogous example, I now invite you to consider that one source states of Schrödinger’s cat:

 

In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat inside a closed box may be considered to be simultaneously both alive and dead while it is unobserved, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

 

This experiment, viewed this way, is described as a paradox. This thought experiment was devised by physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, in a discussion with Albert Einstein, to illustrate what Schrödinger saw as the problems of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg’s philosophical views on quantum mechanics.

 

Admittedly, my mind is boggled (overwhelmed with wonder or bewilderment) by the concept of Schrödinger’s cat being “both alive and dead while it is unobserved.” My mind doesn’t work that way! Perhaps that’s why I previously guarded nuclear weapons, and didn’t create them.

 

Logic and Reason

 

Now, I view events through the proverbial lens of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), as I’ll provide a psychoeducational lesson that involves thinking and believing which is rational (in accordance with both logic and reason), or not (i.e., irrational), as it regards REBT herein.

 

Here, “logic” is the interrelation or sequence of facts or events when seen as inevitable or predictable, and “reason” is a statement offered in explanation or justification. For instance, a modus ponens syllogism uses the following logical form: If p, then q; p; therefore, q.

 

Before I provide an example, it may be useful to know that one source states, “A theory is, in general, any hypothesis or set of ideas about something, formed in any number of ways through any sort of reasoning for any sort of reason.” Colloquially, a “theory” alludes to a mere belief.

 

If every theory in which I believe possibly could be true or real (p), then every theory in which I believe empirically must be true or real (q). Every theory in which I believe possibly could be true or real (p). Therefore, every theory in which I believe empirically must be true or real (q).

 

This proposition follows logical form; yet I argue that it isn’t reasonable, because what could be isn’t necessarily what is. Thus, I consider this syllogistic belief as that relating to irrationality. Nevertheless, I have little doubt that at least one person on this planet disagrees with my outlook.

 

Noteworthy, my worldview is subjective (characteristic of or belonging to reality as perceived rather than as independent of mind). Thus, not everyone agrees with what everybody else deems as rational or not. Irrespective of advocacy for equality, not everyone maintains the same views.

 

For clarity, the American Psychological Association (APA) defines subjective as “taking place or existing only within the mind,” and defines objective as “having verifiable existence in the external world, independently of any opinion or judgment.”

 

Also, a rational perspective for one person may not be considered rational by members of a group. For example, people dedicating themselves to the practice of science may fervently disagree with referring to a mere belief as a “theory.” I agree! Yet, this is my subjective view.

 

Regarding Schrödinger’s cat, as it pertains to superposition, I consider it an irrational claim to state that if an atom hasn’t been observed, then the rules of physics maintain that it can be both broken apart and not broken apart at the same time. Thus, I’m a psychotherapist, not a physicist.

 

Personal Ownership

 

Also worth noting, when practicing REBT, I use personal responsibility and accountability (collectively “ownership”). For improved understanding, responsibility is defined as the quality or state of being responsible, such as a moral, legal, or mental accountability.

 

Here, “responsible” is defined as liable to be called to account as the primary cause, motive, or agent, and being able to answer for one’s conduct and obligations—something, such as the demands of conscience or custom, that obligates one to a course of action.

 

Also, “accountable” is defined as subject to giving an account—a statement explaining one’s conduct. Accountability is defined as the quality or state of being accountable, especially regarding an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.

 

When providing psychoeducational lessons on REBT, a psychotherapeutic modality which arguably requires that one preferably should take personal ownership in order to reduce self-distress or self-disturbance, I lean heavily on both responsibility and accountability.

 

This is because I maintain that people have personal agency (a person’s ability to control one’s own reactions to activating events which are beyond one’s own dominion, especially when one’s response is limited by someone or something else). This is a matter of self-empowerment.

 

Schrödinger’s Consent and a Trauma Response: Consent-Based Morality

 

Although my mind is baffled when contemplating the concept of Schrödinger’s cat, I recently laughed when reading a YouTube comment that merely stated “Schrödinger’s consent” in regard to the 2024 Cornell University rape allegations involving Jane Doe and the so-called Cornell 7.

 

 

Viewing this matter as more than merely a culture war subject, I take seriously the topic of sexual assault and rape. For clarity, the APA defines sexual assault as “any sexual act imposed on an individual without their freely given and explicit consent,” and thusly defines rape:

 

[T]he nonconsensual oral, anal, or vaginal penetration of an individual by another person with a part of the body or an object, using force or threats of bodily harm or taking advantage of the individual’s inability to give or deny consent. U.S. laws defining rape vary by state, but the crime of rape is no longer limited to female victims, to vaginal penetration, or to forcible situations, and the exclusion of spouses as possible perpetrators of rape has been dropped.

 

Notably, both APA definitions of sexual assault and rape addressed consent, which the APA defines as “voluntary assent or approval given by an individual: specifically, permission granted by an individual for medical or psychological treatment, participation in research, or both.”

 

In terms of sexual intercourse, one source states that “no means no’ [is] an anti-rape slogan that emphasizes sexual consent.” As I maintain that both women and men have personal agency and can adopt personal ownership, “no means no” is a straightforward denial of consent.

 

At least, that’s how the process works with a rationally-thinking individual. Nevertheless, when recently watching YouTube content creator Shoe0nHead’s (“Shoe”) video, I was introduced to the irrational concept of Schrödinger’s consent (a humorous castigation of feminist notions).

 

I’ll presume that dead Internet doesn’t explain the feminist dogma critiqued by Shoe, as one source states that “the dead Internet theory is a concept that asserts that the Internet consists primarily of bot activity and automated content manipulated by algorithmic curation.”

 

Presuming that the attitudes which Shoe criticizes in the video aren’t generated by artificial intelligence bots, as I maintain that bad ideas deserve to be mocked, I’m all for mockery of feminist irrationality which is disempowering. Now, in the video, the content creator states:

 

Four new guys come upstairs, and she [Jane Doe] starts to draw boundaries. She says yes to another threesome, no to anal, no to a foursome, yes to more ketamine, no to that guy, yes to that guy. One of the guys tries to nag her, then kiss her. It doesn’t work. She rejects him.

 

Another guy tries to get touchy with her, where she didn’t want it. She pushes him away. He stops. She was making decisions all night long. When she wanted to do something, they [so-called Cornell 7] did that thing. When she didn’t want to do something, they didn’t do that thing. Very important detail there! And most importantly, she did not have sex with seven guys. […]

 

Apparently, during the night, one of the guys told her that if she’s uncomfortable, they can stop whenever they want. But Jane Doe allegedly replies, ‘We’re all consenting adults here.’ […] Jane Doe eventually says she wants to stop, so they stop, and she falls asleep around 5 a.m.

 

The weeks following, she does not characterize the night as rape. In fact, quite the opposite. She assures the men involved, who were worried about rumors circulating, that, ‘Nothing illegal happened’ [‘non [sic] of the sexual stuff was illegal’]. That ‘anyone has to say about the gangbang [sic] is out of their jurisdiction.’ […] She even assures one of the guys that it was ‘our body[,] our choice.’

 

For those who doubt Shoe’s rendition of the allegations, I’m providing a link to documentation concerning the Jane Doe complaint against Cornell University, et al. If the court filings are an honest account of what occurred on the night in question, consent was ostensibly honored.

 

Shoe continues, “Jane Doe consensually took alcohol and drugs. Jane Doe texted the guys and assured them, multiple times, that nothing bad or illegal happened. Jane Doe wanted to return to the frat house weeks later. So, what is their [feminists] explanation for all of this? A trauma response!”

 

Now, the APA defines trauma as “any disturbing experience that results in significant fear, helplessness, dissociation, confusion, or other disruptive feelings intense enough to have a long-lasting negative effect on a person’s attitudes, behavior, and other aspects of functioning.”

 

Just as one’s worldview is subjective, so too is trauma within the field of mental health. Unhelpfully, virtually any event that one considers to be disagreeable can constitute a traumatic situation. Regarding the concept of a trauma response, one source states:

 

A trauma response is an automatic, often involuntary reaction to a threatening or harmful event. It is the body’s way of protecting itself from perceived danger, and these responses are influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, and personal history. Understanding these responses is crucial for individuals and mental health professionals as they navigate the path toward trauma recovery.

 

A significant portion of trauma response narratives which I’ve encountered from feminists within the mental health field regards unadulterated nonsense! Hypothetically, suppose that woman X claims trauma from men Y having raped her, though she consented to the sexual activity.

 

Using a modus ponens syllogism (if p, then q; p; therefore, q), psychotherapist Z may irrationally conclude: If woman X perceived a traumatic event from men Y (p), then her trauma response was to continue engaging in a gang bang (q). Woman X perceived a traumatic event from men Y (p). Therefore, her trauma response was to continue engaging in a gang bang (q).

 

Although this conclusion follows logical form, I argue that it isn’t reasonable. Granted, what I consider to be rational (in accordance with both logic and reason) is subjective. Still, the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn (i.e., fight-or-flight response) can be applied to virtually any reaction!

 

In this way, Schrödinger’s consent suddenly materializes. Therefore, the sexual assault and/or rape topic pertaining to consent no longer regards “no means no,” because “yes means no” simultaneously applies. Pertaining to this matter, Shoe continues:

 

So, you can’t even trust a woman’s words now. If she says “yes,” she might be pretending to be okay with it. Great! Awesome! Now, you’re a rapist! Yes means yes. No means no. In what world does yes mean no? This one, apparently.

 

Schrödinger’s consent is an irrational standard! What civilization could function under rules whereby women have no personal agency or ownership for their actions? If they provide consent for sexual intercourse, then men would empirically have to know that yes actually means no.

 

Of this, Shoe states, “What…the…fuck!? If yes can be no, what the fuck is consent then? What the fuck is the English language? How’re people supposed to know, outside of telepathically reading your fucking mind!?” Shoe nailed it! No notes. She continues:

 

We’re talking about grown-ass adults here! Every single week, for the past few months, women have been getting online and loudly and proudly arguing that actually women are all stupid children who can never be held accountable for anything they do, and should be treated like some kind of second-class, special needs human being.

 

They are just helpless, innocent babes in the woods—perpetual victims of the universe! Everything is done to them. They don’t ever affect the environment around them. They can never be wrong. They can do no evil.

 

This was precisely one of the main reasons I eventually de-identified as a feminist. (Yes, I once identified as a feminist.) The infantilization of women—presuming that adult-age human females have no personal agency or ownership—isn’t something I advocate. Shoe continues:

 

If the logic is that people cannot influence under the influence of drugs or alcohol, then Jane Doe is also a rapist here. That’s it! That’s not my opinion. That’s your [feminists] opinion. That is your logic.

 

And if you disagree with that, you don’t believe that people can’t consent under drugs or alcohol. You believe women can’t consent under drugs or alcohol. And if you want to take that to its logical conclusion, why should women be allowed to take drugs or alcohol if they literally cannot consent to doing anything under it?

 

Shoe made an argument that was both logical and reasonable (i.e., rational). Although it’s my subjective worldview, I maintain that it’s irrational to treat women as children, to behave as though they don’t have personal agency and ownership, and to have a two-tiered justice system.

 

Finally, Shoe then takes umbrage with consent-based morality, about which one source states, “Consent-based morality is inherently ambiguous and unreliable: while some men assume that ‘no’ might mean ‘maybe,’ some women, regretting consensual sexual encounters that left a negative impression upon them, end up revising their ‘yes’ into a ‘no’ after the fact.”

 

For context, the APA defines morality as “a system of beliefs or set of values relating to right conduct, against which behavior is judged to be acceptable or unacceptable.” I maintain that consent-based morality, as described herein, is both irrational and immoral (not moral).

 

REBT

 

While one commenter on Shoe’s video referenced Schrödinger’s consent, I have little doubt that someone encountering the current blogpost will disagree with my stance against the vagueness of a trauma response, as well as the irrationality and immorality of consent-based morality.

 

Thus, REBT uses the ABC model to illustrate that when an undesirable Action occurs and you Believe an unhelpful narrative about the event, it’s your unfavorable assumption, not the event itself, that causes an unpleasant Consequence. This is known as distress or disturbance.

 

Noteworthy, with virtually any undesirable Action that occurs, it’s your unfavorable Beliefs which cause unpleasant distress or disturbance (Consequence). Given this framing of self-distress and self-disturbance, it’s worth noting that one REBT source states (page 71):

 

REBT conceptualizes [distress] as healthy even though it is intense. Other approaches to therapy have as their goal the reduction of the intensity of negative emotions. They take this position because they do not keenly differentiate between healthy negative emotions (distress) and unhealthy negative emotions (disturbance).

 

Now, REBT keenly distinguishes between healthy distress and unhealthy disturbance. Healthy distress stems from your rational beliefs about a negative activating event [Action], whilst disturbance stems from your irrational beliefs about the same event.

 

Complete elimination of distress is highly unlikely in an impermanent and uncertain world, wherein people conceptually suffer, struggle, and battle with, or merely experience hardship. Still, individuals often make matters worse for themselves by disturbing about such instances.

 

In particular, there are four predominate irrational beliefs which people often use to distress or disturb themselves: global evaluations, low frustration tolerance, awfulizing, and demandingness. When contemplating these unproductive scripts, think of the acronym GLAD.

 

Additionally, from a psychological standpoint, people distress or disturb themselves using a Belief-Consequence (B-C) connection. Of course, this isn’t to suggest that in the context of the naturalistic or physical world there is no Action-Consequence (A-C) connection.

 

From an A-C point of view, person X reads this blogpost (Action) and disagrees with what I’ve expressed herein (Consequence). Still, from a B-C view, it’s person X’s unaccommodating Belief that causes negative, though unhealthy disgust (Consequence).

 

For example, person X disagrees with my worldview (Action), Believing, “Deric is a worthless psychotherapist [G], and I can’t stand him [L], because his views on women are horrific [A], so he shouldn’t have written this blogpost [D],” and then person X is disgusted (Consequence).

 

Addressing how people upset themselves with unhelpful attitudes, the ABC model incorporates Disputation of unproductive philosophies of life in order to explore Effective new beliefs. Whereas rigid beliefs cause self-disturbance, flexible beliefs result in an un-disturbed condition.

 

Noteworthy, REBT also uses unconditional acceptance (UA) to relieve self-induced suffering. This is accomplished through use of unconditional self-acceptance (USA), unconditional other-acceptance (UOA), and unconditional life-acceptance (ULA).

 

With my approach to REBT, I incorporate author Stephen Covey’s concepts regarding the circles of control, influence, and concern, as well as an area of no concern. UA maps onto the circle of control (USA), circle of influence (UOA), and circle of concern and area of no concern (ULA).

 

The circle of control encompasses only oneself, the circle of influence encapsulates elements which may be subject to one’s sway, the circle of concern engrosses most matters one can imagine, and the area of no concern relates to all content which isn’t yet imagined.

 

Regarding my circle of control and USA, I acknowledge that I’m a fallible human being with subjective views. Concerning my circle of influence and UOA, I admit that I’m unlikely to change the mind of person X, who’s also a flawed individual.

 

Relating to my circle of concern and ULA, I recognize that the subjectivity of trauma can apply to everything from sexual assault and rape to merely encountering a blogpost. Pertaining to my area of no concern, an imaginary realm in which trauma doesn’t exist, that’s just nonsense!

 

Conclusion

 

When I formerly worked in the field of nuclear security, I came across subject matter about which I was baffled. For instance, the concept of Schrödinger’s cat regards such material, as my mind doesn’t function well with matters I consider illogical and unreasonable (i.e., irrational).

 

After switching my career path by having become a psychotherapist, I began teaching people about personal agency and ownership. These matters are antithetical to the notion of Schrödinger’s consent, about which I learned when watching a Shoe0nHead YouTube video.

 

Essentially, some people apparently propose that a trauma response irrationally excuses an individual’s behavior regarding sexual assault and/or rape. For example, if woman X perceived a traumatic event from men Y, then her trauma response was to continue engaging in a gang bang.

 

This perspective deprives women of personal agency and ownership, and infantilizes them to the degree whereby they’re ultimately viewed as adult-aged children. That’s infantilizing as fuck! Further complicating this irrational outlook is the matter of consent-based morality.

 

From this worldview, some women who regret consensual sexual encounters that left a negative impression upon them end up revising their consent (i.e., yes) into a form of non-consent (i.e., no) after the fact. I question what civilization could function under rules whereby women have no personal agency or ownership for their actions of this sort.

 

Ultimately, I advocate use of the ABC model and UA to address the matters I’ve raised herein. Although I can’t control or influence irrational matters such as Schrödinger’s consent, I can control my reaction to this feminist fuckery! And do you know what? You can, too!
