Overcome what exactly?
Survival at all costs is an inbuilt protective mechanism.
To have to exercise it it todays world is a sad indictment of North Korean culture and advancement in human development.
No argument with anything you claim, but NK learned to survive during the Korean war, when NK was effectively bombed back to the stone age.
Since then, they have rebuilt and on a population of perhaps 25mm have managed to produce nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles, despite sanctions, embargoes and famines.
That is an impressive performance by any standard. So it is not unreasonable to expect more of the same when the war clouds lift.
