Re: Apropos the "Cost of natural selection revisited"



I just would like add just a couple of things:

All sanely suggested (clearly highly plausible or obviously realistic) not
just "not mutually exclusive" but even complementary (NOT complimentary!!!)
environmental (and inevitably to have been naturally selective/pruning)
pressures (challenges of all in principle prospective progenitors in the
phylogeny of fauna) that can and have been conceived of should obviously be
accepted as part of any science-aligned and most encompassing possible
explanatory philosophical take on how we evolved to be how we now are.

I can only reluctantly concede that individuals who indulge in needless - as
in, never-to-be beneficially insight-evoking and/or obviously never to be
put into any kind of 'anthropic ALQholism increasing' practise -
philosophical and/or mathematical 'needle-work' on (or to do with) some
aspect of how we evolved HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO.

However, I promise to never voluntarily finance any such superfluous
efforts! %-{
(The seemingly perpetual revisitngs of "the cost of natural selection" being
one such effortful preoccupation that I had in mind.)

Our evolution was well affordable. :-) After all, What Is has an
overabundance of energy,
plenty enough permutability, and in an absolute sense no timely
constraints.
:-)

BTW, how we were naturally selected within the evolutionary pressure (or
patterning) totality is most aptly understood from a position of overview
that includes the perspective of how us folk evolved to be the most
"AEVASIVE" species of all fauna.

The approximate but appropriately allusive abbreviation AEVASIVE may be
explained as a way of referring to that and how we exemplify a by an
accumulation of
"ambiadvantageous" adaptations evolved, exceptionally versatile - not the
least verbally - "actention (selection serving) system" incorporating
various "endoopiates".

There are of course more molecules involved than opioids but what is known
about them is indicative of an important aspect of the highly integrative
meaning of AEVASIVE; And, after plenty of error plagued trial of ways to
expressing a philosophical thought as encompassing and science-aligned as
AEVASIVE it turned out that the "e" supplied by "endoopiates" was more
helpful to my endeavor - one that amounted to an elaborate piecing
together
of an in some respects etymologically pioneering terminology - than was an
"o".

If you don't know what ambiadvantageous refers to, here it is:
Some naturally occuring predicaments in the lifetime of mainly
neuromuscular
animals are not only physically inescapable but in order that they be
survived (individually and of course possibly also eventually
reproductively) they as if demand from individuals that are "in them" that
they be specificically/synaptically (not generally) hibernated.
That during such predicaments it is in principle advantageous for an
animal
to not only be able to specifically/synaptically hibernate but to
simultaneously meet (by the environment presented)
"opportunity type" challenges (by directly procreation promoting
preoccupations or focuses of /ways of paying "actention") is what the
etymologically pioneering term ambiadvantageous refers to.

In other words AEVASIVE is a principle that not only represents both how
we
evolved and function under the influence of a frequent natural overlap
between a subset of selection pressures of adversity type that may be
called
"specific/synaptic hibernation imploring type situations" (that normally
tend to turn into "Conditioned-in" Unconsciously Reverberating States,
Effecting Symptoms") and primarily and/or predominantly "positive" (or
"opportunity type") selection pressures.
