I am going to follow that succinct reply with only a few of my customary EPT
reflections.
[And as usual I shall do so from a fairly philanthropically oriented but not
in any way financial
(since EIMC Internetional Ptd. Lty. has never made a profit) overview].
The only thing worth recognizing about the environment (generally),
is phylogenetically significant thematic types of environmental pressures.
One such theme (within the Evolutionary Pressure Totality - both of which I
have percEPTively spotted and concEPTualized;) is one that has naturally
'selected-in'
[from a vast number of generations and an even vaster
number of "candidate" geno/phenotypes (hence the law of large numbers comes
into
rational philosophical play and can be heavily leant on)] those individuals
whose mutant survival
mechanisms were the most "ambiadvantageously" adapted in respect of being
as if 'evolutionarily challenged' (or 'selection pressured') by potentially
exploitable environmental opportunities
*whilst simultaneously being (or having ended up) in a "specific hibernation
imploring type situation".
[I must have instinctively whiffed what logically flowed from this
recognition - i.e. a potentially seriously off-putting
insight because, as it turned out, I learnt how to perversely umbrella
understand it partly but pivotally by way of
a homeopathically immunizing sEPTic humor.]
Especially in the case of neural animals, the fact that a SHITS (if
survived) normally also gives rise to a
corresponding kind of memory [concEPTualized as a "conditioned-in,
unconsciously remembered stressor,
effecting symptoms"] -- IOW, that a SHITS get stored in the form of "CURSES"
(type memory) --
can be interpreted as that this kind of physiological aftermath of traumatic
adversity 'amplifies'
the 'phylogenetic potency and significance' of a traumatizing
(whether rapidly and dramatically or gradually and deceptively trivially so)
set of environmental influences. (SHITS).
In realtime, CURSES (unconscious imprints of having been in SHITS) directly
or indirectly exert an insidiously co-motivating
influence (neuropsychophysiological pressure) within a thus primarily
adversely "charged up" brain or nervous system.
[Apropos which, a brain, or nervous system, is potently concEPTualized, and
in a science-aligned metaphoric (but not quite 'methanephoric') way
understood
to be an "actention" selection system. ;-)]
P
--
Partly inspired by MAD (cold war shaming acronym) I arrived at EPT
[~ eclectic explanatory perversely pert philosophical terminology]
to by concEPTual lenses/tools reliably see/grasp how and why
AEVASIVE preoccupations (personalities) normally preclude making
in dEPTh sense (of themselves).
In the acronym for "Ambiadvantageously Evolved, 'V-word', Actention
Selection (System), Involving Various Endorphins" AS(S) stand for
that we behave according to our phylogenetically and individually acquired
repertoire of, competing (by mutual inhibition) whilst cheered and booed by
current and past environmental influences, "actention modules";
AE refer to the Evolutionary Pressure Totality divided into
1. Opportunities (~constructive potentials for evolutionary patterning)
2. Adversities - here specifically SHITS ["Specific (Synaptic) Hibernation
Imploring
Type (or Traumatic - also tardily so) Situations - repercussively retained
as
CURSES (type memories) aka "Pain" (Janov)]
