To want to survive is in fact fear based, you know one of those innate emotions that define "all" human animals, look it up, try an encyclopedia.
Tell me, Is there anything in your world, or world view, that is not based on fear?
Exactly! Correct! But the great thing about the movie is it puts the human animal in perspective, especially as it pertains to their, here you go, I know you're gonna love this, as you've mentioned your distaste for it already, as opposed to "respectable" 'argument' of course, yes, FIGHTING!
It shows how the fear of death is largely responsible for all fighting, as in a philosophy forum maybe, when argument is no longer apparent, as they're reminded of their impending doom, yes I've conducted a little experiment here, from time to time, measuring differential aggression, and you've all failed, with respect to your point, while proving theirs, (real docs)/mine. Basically that the fear of death causes us to try and conquer death, by killing, thus we create all the problems we have, as distractions so as to try and ignore the truth that we are going to die, to run interference, if you will.
The original author of the material, a cultural anthropologist, Ernest Becker, in 1974, won a Pulitzer Prize for his book, "The Denial of Death," and it scared the shit out of people, to be laid out so naked, for all to see, exposed for the fear mongers we are, responsible for all the shit we do wrong! But then that's the joke, as "that shit," slowly builds the annihilation of our species.
And before you can say anything, denial, is the word of the day!
