the theme of this post is present and sufficient

present and sufficient refers to circumstances whereby some part or aspect of a complex phenomena, like a human, is accountable in terms of some (obvious or non-obvious) part or aspect of a less complex phenomena, say simpler animals, or even fundamental concerns of biology, chemistry, or physics

emphatically, this does not dismiss or wish-away any single individuals’ experience of either of the above, above and beyond what is described below specifically, i am pointing:

  • at the intersect between individual experiences
  • toward an elementary account of the general-case:
    • common operational circumstances, of underlying biology
    • necessarily present operations and operational modes, of evolved cognition, which map directly to both depression and burnout
  • to failures in present approaches to assist or treat underlying cause
