posit: were all chickens

It's been said elsewhere several times and in different ways, people will do whatever is most nessecary at any given moment or time to survive and take care of them and thiers. This statement shines a light on the fact we still have all the instinct of the lion and the antelope. people are for the most part three meals away from becoming the scary guy in the dark alley with the blunt object waiting to bash open the head of the next person they see to take anything they can to help them survive the next 24 hours or longer. But this also speaks to courage, my favourite quote about courage is this "a medal for bravery means three things 1) you were smart enough to think of a plan 2) stupid enough to try it and 3) lucky enough to survive it". If what is nessecary to survive best in a situation is to run then you will in all likely hood run for cover. If the best option happens to be fighting you'll likely wind up dong that. We can train ourselves to lean one way or another but everyone has a situation a thing that when they come up against will cause them to flee or run around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
