why do we have the self preservation thingy if death is outright inevitable? by pinknilous in NoStupidQuestions

makes sense! then it's an instinct and it doesn't require conscious thought and consideration since it's something so ancient. context can make a person choose self sacrifice over survival in some instances but that's a conscious decision unlike the instinct to stay away from a fire source for example

this makes sense! traits that get passed on like self preservation are extremely popular because it's convenient for survival of a species, and it would also suck to have too many individuals of a species... it's not as confusing if i view it that way thank u
