The Crossover
Which quotation from “Is Survival Selfish?” connects most closely to a central idea from “The End and The Beginning”?
We may have an instinct for survival, but it clearly doesn’t always kick in the way it should.
We pick up a thousand cues in an instant of crisis and respond in ways that even surprise ourselves, sometimes.
On the one hand, we’re told to put our own oxygen masks on first, and not to jump in the water with a drowning victim.
Some people hold it together in a crisis and some people fall apart. Some people might run away from danger one day, and toward it the next.
