I like your answer! :-)

Other than that, here is my short comment relating to Onar Åm's quota of
intelligence as regards some of his motivation.:

I suggest that, in general, people with high IQ tend to "pay" the most
sophisticated AEVASIVE "actentions" or, slightly differently put, they tend
to preoccupy themselves with "AEVASIVE focuses of actention"  to (by)
whatever suchlike (sophisticated and usually, but not necessarily,
"successful" in some measurable sense) preoccupation or lanned pursuit.

However, especially when these people are self-purportedly in a
brainscientific or otherwise anthropology oriented academic or
research-focused occupation -- occupations whose principal aim and purpose
is generally presumed to be to advance our relevant understanding and our
overall ability to self- and socially regulate, respectively -- then the
irony inbuilt in all such (by the AEVASIVE aspect of our evolution and
neuropsychology co-produced) preoccupations (and in accompanying attitudes),
is its most intense.

One of the rare exceptions to this general rule - the rule of "high IQ's
AEVASIVE irony", is an EPT (or an at least closely EPT-aligned)
anthropobiological understanding (mainly) of what is going on in the realm
of human affairs.

"EPT" is my name for a somewhat septic-humored but philanthropically
oriented overview, and serious understanding, maintained (almost as if it
were a "universal wave-functionish insight being kEPT from collapsing") by
help of "AEVASIVE" and some closely related other concEPTual lenses
(corrective/protective such) or tools (including some long-handled and
flexible such), respectively.

Peter

P.S. Try to think of "AEVASIVE" (explained in different and much greater
detail elsewhere) as an evolution-theoretical and brain-scientific attitude
to "normal neurosis". Hope that advice might help some rare reader who is
already ready to help him/herself! %-]
