Consider the following leading (but typically only reluctantly followed)
question:
What is the best (most adaptive) possible strategy by which an individual
can cope with/survive a harrowing (painful and/or fearsome) predicament (of
a neuromuscular individual) that is not being avoided or prevented (whether
or not it in principle can be avoided or prevented) and that cannot be
physically fled from or otherwise 'neutralized' after an individual animal
have _actually_ ended up in it (that is, ended up in a thus _generally
defined_ predicament)?
The above question should be (is best) contemplated against a background
'that consists of'
1. The capacity of all sufficiently genetically normal, sufficiently
developmentally formed and neuroanatomically intact neuromuscular animals to
form some kind of durable "memory" (and you may very well also consider that
even single-celled 'amoebic' individuals are capable of some form of
learning and remembering). By durable memory I here mean mean mainly but not
only any experientially induced (or "conditioned-in") lasting functural
change of neurons ("functural" is my shorthand way of implying and
underscoring that a functional change is also structural); more specifically
changes of "LTP-type" - that is, lasting or "long-term potentiating" changes
of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons' firing-propensity; and,
2. that the capacity to undergo such changes is, basically, entirely
automatic.

I told you to omit all punctuation to make your writings more
interesting and coherent. You're doing better but still too much
punctuation.

You've had your chance to come up with an answer, so I'll answer myself. ;-)
[I know I am barking up ringbarked trees but since I seem to be AEVASIVEly
drawn to behave barkingly, here I go ;-)]
I meant we need to become better both at
1. "beholding" (perceiving)
2. "biting the bullet" (as far as doing something about)
A. what can be realistically done to prevent Specific (synaptic-sized states
of) Hibernation (here i.e. inhibitory impact of interneurons) Imploring (as
if 'imploring to be induced') Type predicaments from happening,
B. learning how best to deal with already 'bitten-in' memory states of a
type that can be called CURSES (same insidious conditioned in states are
elsewhere printed and talkatively termed less euphemistically as Pain - with
a capital, or as "primal pain", or elsewhere more euphemistically as
"engrams").
---
_If_ one can take in the significance of "SHI type predicaments (see#) and
their normally automatically
conditioned-in subcortical and cortical counterparts "CURSES" in a way that
is both
'evolution pertainingly' theoretical and restraining of a
rational-reasoning-revoking reflex [a reflex that I recommend be more
efficiently and charmingly referred to as "a 'rEPTilian' self-restraint"
%-}] _then_ one is no more than halfway on the way to obtain an in-dEPTh
heuristic [here EPT might stand for "effectively philosophy terminating"]
philosophical overview of people - oneself omitted not! ;-)
In order to be somewhat farther along the way to be EPT-aligned, one must
master being mindful of that these two closely causally related sorts of
significant selective pressures are *complementary* to ANY other obvious or
realistically suggested factors/scenarios/interactions of our phylogeny!.
Only after such advances closer to an edgy but fairly philanthropically
oriented EPT understanding of ourselves will one get fairly close to
appreciate the serious aim behind
[minus the S_EPT_IC humored - i.e., almost homeopathically protective and
only
decEPTively silly, or, IOW, for a soberly assigned purpose lingually loose
and sem_antics-sporting - surface of] my essentially rational and
science-aligned concEPT..
However, only by also perceiving the simple evolutionary sub-principle of
how very often and how significantly (in respect of how our traits got
naturally selected) SHI-type predicaments and their dynamic and in the
long-term lingering imprints (CURSES) have combined with positive (or
primarily 'opportunity-offering') 'evolutionarily pressuring' types of
lifetime challenges - thus combining
into a key ("key to" a largely unprecedented unified understanding of how we
evolved to become how we are kind of naturally selectively (or
phylogenetically) operative 'overlap' [one that obviously frequently
affected (or challenged) individuals of pre and proto human populations] AND
by taking into additional account that lifetime examples of the same
subcategory of predicaments and their imprints together with lifetime
examples of the completely generally defined counterpart-category of
predominantly pleasurable (or opportunity offering) lifetime challenges and
the learning/memories caused by them, also amount to a substantial part NOT
ONLY of the "evolutionary pressure totality" but of all the environmental
and endogenous (both conditioned-in and intrinsic) influences or factors
that combine to the _developement_ of our personalities (or individual
"psychologies") - not least importantly via the learning (including through
feedback-involving
interactions with environmental factors) in the process of "socialization".

"SHI-type" is a more prudely put expression than the expression that would
have resulted had I allowed the full abbreviatory potential of this concEPT
[and the corresponding aspect of my creative (by EPT implications AEVASIVEly
motivated) and 'exEPTionally' poised thinking about and ditto take on
our species' evolution toward our uniquely outstanding AEVASIVE phenotype
and behavioral/psychologic/cultural characteristics.

Lastly, if I allow myself to be self-ironic (including being ironic about my
'EPT efforts' to fertilize - or infect - folk's minds with my 'EPT memes')
then I could say that I think or feel that we 'ought' to (i.e. according to
my not even half hopeful and humble
opinion) have evoked (within us) constructive embarrassments, empathies, and
"specific
self-regulatory sorrows". And that I seem to be trying to have a recipe for
such changes transferred to
electronic paper - textually and S_EPT_I_C-ally/-omedically. %-}
