what it has to do with the suttas and Theravada Buddhism , to be honest !

Well seems that nothing...

I was just giving an answer to the idea of survival that came in Deshy's post #22, as a sense of self that prevails and prevails because an instinct of survival. This idea of survival, I was telling, is an anthropocentric construction given from the late Naturalists of the beginning of the XX century, but nature do not has a survival intention at all... the survival idea is about our own existential worries; so a self that needs to survive is behind this distress.

But anyway...
