When does this "balanced state" establish itself? When does one become a 1 or a 10?
That's a good question. I haven't read anything on it's relation to our childhood but my guess is that it starts there. I've been around extremely rural people in Tenn. who let there 4 y.o. boy run around naked in summer in weed fields taller than the kid. I doubt if those kids grow up to be fearful of much.

Interesting thoughts.
I think I am moderately concerned about this virus. In a sense, I don't think it is extremely deadly, and may be close to an order of magnitude lower than what it is. I think we have underestimated its rate of infection just as we have overestimated its mortality.
My major concern is healthcare resources. If everyone gets sick, everything gets overwhelmed.
I think this places me high on this board, but in the united states, this places me at a moderate perhaps 6. I have a respect for this virus.
I don't know where that places me on the who risk homeostasis chart. I guess financially I am a bit more concerned about what are the long term effects.
In short I tend to try to figure what I think is going to happen before I get too concerned or not concerned about something.
Honestly, I am unsure of this thing because I think there is a lot of stupidity out there that could totally screw things up. I am kinda as afraid of the lets do nothings as I am lets shut down everything.
I don't know. Kinda in the middle, but I guess that is where I am on most things so perhaps that is my normal risk homeostasis.
