A feature of selective AEVASIVE unconsciousness is that the existence, the
common occurrences, the relatively easy to achieve  measures of avoiding,
and the ubiquitous symptoms of,  "slow traumas" are largely ignored;
precisely because this kind of conditioning is so utterly common; and that
it is responded to by "Selective Hibernation"#.

# The key (re)definition of "Hibernation":

Any intracellular or intercellular self-inhibition (by an individual)
leading to a selective dampening of the metabolic rate of a cell or cells;
from the single cell "amoebic individual" to any number of
behaviour-producing cells, including cells that "energise" the levels and
cognitive/feeling/sensory-motor contents of "Consciousness" [as this is
EPTly defined].

[The EPT definition of Consciousness implies that our capacity for
"Hibernatory" self-regulation" also makes it possible for us to "highly
selectively" prevent or "gate" (pre or post synaptically) "energising"
messages from "Reticular Activating Type" (RAT) neurons. This "energising"
signal-influence is apparently (and perfectly in line with conventional
scientific wisdom) also necessary (or essential) for us to achieve and
maintain our (various and more or less transient and regular/irregular)
"focuses of Actention" (including -- as a matter of both functional
(neurophysioanatomical) and semantic overlap -- e.g. a
Consciousness/"focuses of Actention" with a cognitive (i.e. intellectual,
philosophical, etc.) and/or emotional and/or viscero-motor content.

That is, excitatory "RAT neurons" (further explained below) do by their
signalling "energise" Consciousness. But, of still greater importance (for
my SCAEPTIC agenda) is that, ***in the absence of "Hibernatory" (inhibitory)
self-regulatory feed-back signals*** RAT neurons would energise the by
definition *futile* focuses of flight/fight type Actention that by the same
definition would otherwise result from being caught-up in a ICTS [Irritating
Cloud Type Situation] alt. "Specific Hibernation Imploring Type Situations".
---------------

[My redefinition of "Hibernation" does of course not just refer to a
self-regulatory dampening-down of the rate of firing of single (or small
numbers of) brain-cells in a complex animal species such as our own selves.
However, the definition most importantly implies the adaptive possibility of
a reflexive "AEVASIVE handling" -- especially elaborate and highly evolved
in us humans -- of a 1. by a current "SHITS" called-for, and/or 2. by prior
SHITS permanently Conditioned-in (or permanently "sensitised"), firing of
"non-specific" [so called by Luria, in The Working Brain, chapter 2] type of
neurons (=my "RAT" neurons). That is, neurons whose "energising" firing (a
firing that is typically "tonic" and only relatively slow to be "wound up"
in response to efferent exitatory messages) would in the absence of
Hibernatory self-regulation allow a SHITS type Situation to select
(specifically motivate) a potentially dangerously futile distressful and/or
flight-fight type Behaviour (i.o.w. a ditto mal-adaptive "focuse of
Actention") in response to "SHIICTSs". [This last spelling variant is short
for both "Irritating Cloud" & "Hibernation Imploring" Type Situations].

Number 2 (above) is a very important, but widely ignored, consequence in
response to the (Conditioned-in) aftermath or "residues" that SHITS tend to
leave behind in the "Actention System"(~=brain) of brainy individuals.

Especially significant is this ignorance in the case of "slowly traumatic"
SHITS.

Nuber 2 is very important, and should be accomplished every day.
Thank you for your insightful ilustration of  the consequences of
brainy individuals having their heads up their (own) arses.

Perhaps they would be swifter and less traumatic if not for widespread
ignorance of the value of dietary fiber.

I guess a my contribution was a bit on the sloppy side and might easily
penetrate the odd olfactories.

Anyway, for some it would always me to close for comfort to be faced with a
statement that suggests (quite truthfully) that: Specific Hibernation
Imploring (and  Inducing --- since we are normally preadapted to be in
possession of highly precise and selective Hibernatory brain functions) Type
(life-)Situations can accumulate as conditioned-in states that influence our
development to make our personalities AEVASIVE in a myriad of ways.

Ambi-advantageously Evolved {the category of "selective pressures" involved
can be characterised as frequent coincidences of SHITS with "POTS"
[Potential Opportunity Type Situations] Vital Actention (Selection) System
(~=brain or nervous system) Incorporating (amongst much else, though for the
construction of this acronym in a conveniently central position, the)
Various Endorphins.

P.S.
It is to me unfortunate that some peoples' AEVASIVEness has the result of
them appearing both humorless and unwilling to understand even the most
excEPTionally truth-revealing interpretation of what is already firmly
scientifically established principles and theories.

Um,  could you repeat that please?  Perhaps you should look into hybernating
some of your dopamine neurons as opposed to messing with anything endorphin.

Not a bad reply! ;-)

Anything from, theories by deranged minds, to optimally approximated
explanatory descriptions or rational science-aligned PROOFS of whatever by
better organised minds, can have an opioid effect on their forgers as well
as followers.

But especially strongly so *at the time and a limited time after* such
theories are being "paid actention to". This effect is equivalent to when
religious individuals start praying or studying the bible - yet again - to
refresh their "religious fix" (i.e. their way of coping).

As you probably realise, the above examples of "Ambi-advantageously Evolved"
AEVASIVE focuses of actentions" is belongs to the same category of
endogenous  opiate shooting-up behaviours that e.g. "runners getting high on
running" "politicians getting off on politicking", "philosophers getting
free from anxiety and feeling good by philosophising", mountain-climbers
getting eustress by mountain-climbing"; and so on and on.....!

By (focuses of) "actention" (from "activity"+"attention") I refer to that
anything we individuals do - any focus of attention or preoccupation
(whether pre{*filter*}ly mental or motor in character) occurs in
'brainspace-time' in the neurophysioanatomical form of sufficiently
energised (by Reticular Activating Type [or "RAT"] neurons) actention
"modules" (schematically considered).

"Actention modules and their organisation (in many cases by way of "mutual
inhibition/competition", loosely according to the principle of
"centre/surround excitation/inhibition") is of course a very much schematic
a view. But even so, it can be appreciated that a "central (in the brain)
switching-station" is apparently located in the basal ganglia.

[Actention-modules *that are not functionally/adaptationally compatible*
compete for {*filter*} by way of either (or both) innate and conditioned-in
rules/mechanisms for *mutual inhibition*. By the subtle nature of "things
varying and being different", our actention modules are nearly always
unequally "energised/motivated/cued". (More specifically, this being the
result of the shifting interactivity (brain-synthesis) of factors -
"actention selecting factors - that at any one time constitutes a
individual's "Total Selective Situation".)

A "Sum-Total Selective Situation" have 3 simultaneous meanings:
1. It reflects each individual's legacy (or geno-phenotypal expressions) of
primal needs/instincts/drives, as these were at least originally/ancestrally
*adaptive* behaviours  and/or responses;
2. current environmental cues;
3. past (i.e. *within* the individual's life-time) *Conditioned-in* cues -
some of which co-motivate centrally by way of dynamic 'brain/memory states'
that deserve to be called/classified with something like the acronym CURSES
(or, more explicitly derived, 'CCKHHURRSSEES').

The 'neurophysiological opposite' to "focuses of actention" are
states of "selective Hibernation". Such states, often (or always?)
Endorphin-mediated, can be fundamentally explained neurophysiologically (by
help of the thoroughly science-aligned concEPT: "Reticular Activating Type
[RAT] neurons") and they can be directly equated with "selective
'unConsciousness' "; and, inversely, this explanatory classification lends
itself to a simple, but no less profound and valid, definition of
"Consciousness" (a notion and definition "a la EPT").

By the the way, so much for debates on the topic of "free will".

Given the context of your prior posts, may we thereby now assume that
we are in the realm of RAT SHIT?

F. Frank

I seem to have over-fertilised your mind.

You got it up-shit-creek.

A S.H.I.T.S. -- by the way, it is a perfectly well deserved abbreviation --
and its normally inevitable future residue of "CURSES" (my label for a by
SHITS inevitably conditioned-in form of memory, one that involve circuits
consisting of permanently SHITS-sensitised high-level sensory-integrating
and motivational neurons -- importantly amongst them "Reticular Activating
Type" neurons -- but also the firing of and conditioned-in reflex
carried-out by interneurons that most directly and more or less efficiently
"gates" distress-generating signal-paths from these SHITS-affected RAT
neurons.

CURSES is a frighteningly sharply self-defining acronym-label. It is an
alternative to the labels, for more or less the same conditioned-in states,
used/invented by others.

My main point is that output-signals from "R.A.T. neurons" are thus
"AEVASIVEly  prevented" (another loosely contrived acronym) from energising
a "SHITS-specific" -- potentially and primarily *always distressful* --
focus of actention.

What a composure you must have to come up with even such an average
conclusion considering that my very *too poignant* concETPs are poking up ye
old olfactories. ;-)
