| | Robert, I agree with your point on gaining ground through proper raising of the next generation.
I doubt that I'm nearly as methodical about my intellectual integration as I could be. That is an area where we have more control over the process of integration as opposed to what I was discussing.
As to integrating to the extent that I mentioned in the article, I don't think anyone does it methodically. It is more about trying to have negative feelings trigger a moment of introspection. Then one day a certain kind of discomfort is seen to be similar with previous instances, some analysis identifies what the cause is, and retaining that awareness becomes the way of diminishing the tendency to feel bad when those circumstances next arise.
Critical thinking isn't taught but should be. A practical how-to course in introspection and processing emotions would round out an approach to using this all important facilty.
