Excerpt from a YouTube episode featuring Dave Asprey (uploaded by Fleet Maull) where Asprey summarizes a simple heuristic for behaviors common to life on Earth using four "F words": fear (avoid danger), feed (seek food), fertility (reproduce), and friend (collaborate). He presents these in prioritized order as fundamental survival rules shared across organisms.

Here's what a jellyfish, a tree, a human or a slime mold will do. This is all life on Earth. They follow these rules and they're all F words, by the way. Number one, fear. If something is scary, run away from, kill or hide, right? And so we all know the fight, flight, sympathetic activation, things like that. If it's not scary, then you go to the next F word, which is feed, because famines have killed all things throughout the last couple billion years. So that rule is eat everything. And the third F word, as you might imagine, for all life to stay around for multiple generations, it's not the one fleet that you're thinking of, its fertility, but fear, food, fertility, in order, all of this happens. And then the next F word is friend. Because all life will collaborate with its own species and other species around it because this is how life works.
