If your goal is survival, then to keep your head down and bide your time until the threat has passed is the way to survive, unless you think that you would be sought out and exterminated for doing so.
It is fight OR flight
That's why adultury is condemned within society
Societies that condemn it do better as a result
@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 no survival is Telos
Survival at any cost
And sticking your head down is only applicable when danger is present
The Telos is survival.
Yes
I think is what you mean.
You're right
Telos in and of itself means nothing.
It's just an end.
A goal
The destination or aim.
Survival is more than threat scenarios
No, if you believe you are in danger of not surviving
There is a threat.
Either you need to mitigate the threat, or hide from it.
Passing on your genes has to do with survival but there is no threat.
That your genetic line will end.
Then you are just describing every operation of life in general
To keep us alive long enough to reproduce, to help our offspring survive long enough so they can reproduce, etc.
All such would be a?
The threat to your genetic line surviving.
To continue to live or exist, especially in spite of danger or hardship.
Everything we do is to protect ourselves from threat.
That is to survive.
@campodin false.
Yeah.
We don't eat to survive
Now threat has become meaningless
We eat because we like it.
People do things that are detrimental to the survival of their genes, of humanity, and of life
Lol food is for nutrition
And often that action is in contrary to survival.
What I claim is not that all organism act this way, but that this is how all organisms SHOULD act
Yeah and those are the degenerate behaviors
So when you go to the store, you buy anything.
Those who do so well pass on their genes. The rest are lost to time
