By latent tendency I don’t mean family history, though it’s obviously correlated. I claim that there’s this fact of the matter about Jess’ personality, biology, etc, which is that it’s easier for her to have a psychotic episode than for most people. This seems not plausibly controversial.
I’m not claiming a gears-level model here. When you see that someone has a pattern of <problem> that others in very similar situations did not have, you should assume some of the causality is located in the person, even if you don’t know how.
Listing “I don’t know, some other reason we haven’t identified yet” as an “obvious source” can make sense as a null option, but giving it a virtus dormitiva type name is silly.
I think that Jessica has argued with some plausibility that her psychotic break was in part the result of taking aspects of the AI safety discourse more seriously and unironically than the people around her, combined with adversarial pressures and silencing. This seems like a gears-level model that might be more likely in people with a cognitive disposition correlated with psychosis.
