Most of our human nature comes down to a basic survival instinct. But if you think about it, this instinct doesn't really make sense. I will die whether the species lives on or not, so I shouldn't have a reason to worry about whether or not my genes are continued, amirite?

We don't want to die... Umm that's actually a good question, I honestly can't say.
Instinct is just something that is a natural or intuitive way of acting or thinking. We want to live and thrive, but why

Why don't you care?

Right. But why do we care?

I never said I don't care. I care as much as anyone else. I'm wondering why we have this instinct - why all living creatures have this instinct.
