We must stop relating to the world, in short, as desperate parasites bent on short-term self-preservation and rampant needs-satisfaction and start thinking about how our activity within nature can help us pursue lives both meaningful to us and non-destructive to the planet.

When you place the videos in the context of the sorts of quotes she shares – on self-preservation, self-belief, an "I work because I love this shit"—you come to see that Jessie, like so many in the public eye, just needs a little validation.

It's not until she meets Barack Obama and starts to get serious about dating him that she begins to consider that she ought to direct her professional ambition elsewhere — and she is clear about the fact that her decision is, in part, an act of self-preservation.

The players have responded to a story he has shared — one also told by Herman's former boss at Ohio State, Urban Meyer — about a soldier who confided that what most compelled him to fight was not self-preservation or hatred or patriotism, but love for his comrades.

Leaving the punk scene behind was partly an act of self-preservation ("There's the danger of drugs, which is an issue with me" — a subject compellingly detailed in his 2013 memoir, "I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp") and partly a return to his first love.

Debuting on Netflix, Eva Trobisch's searing first feature film, "Alles Ist Gut" (literal translation: "All Is Well"), has a title that functions as a mantra for Janne (Aenne Schwarz), whose instinct for self-preservation leads her to defuse conflict and redirect the volatile creatures in her orbit.

" While men may have done this out of libidinous self-interest, Hirshman implies that women were suckered into it by a pathetic sense of self-preservation — "not wanting to be cast as man-hating prudes by sexy liberal male writers and lawyers, potential mates after all.
|
|
There were 45,80 fans at the game on Friday, many of them eager to diagnose the team's ills, to offer variations on similar themes: The players are afraid to lose; history has handcuffed the club; moves geared toward short-term self-preservation have suppressed big, fresh ideas.
|
|
The hopeful tone from Democrats is as much about self-preservation as it is about collaboration: The party is now starting down a midterm election in 2018 that party officials have long feared could result in heavy Senate losses, since Democrats are defending 25 seats vs.

The real enigma isn't the glimmering, matter-warping nature of Area X, despite how intoxicating it looks on screen — it's the darkest part of the human heart, that desire to break ourselves open, even if it's just a little bit, in rebellion against our animal instincts toward self-preservation.
|
|
In the third mid-season finale, Nate/Lyndon (Sterling Sulieman) is killed by Emily (Shay Mitchell) as both self-preservation and revenge for Maya (Bianca Lawson) being killed — Maya, of course, "knew too much" and then was mysteriously killed by a random stalker (cough, "A" was involved, cough).

Kanter was disowned by his family last year, for reasons that his parents ascribed to his political affiliations and activism; it's unclear whether this was an act of self-preservation or a sign of a serious rift, but Kanter says he has not engaged with his family in years.
|
|
Felix Biederman, co-host of the "Chapo Trap House" podcast, argued that the count of political "third rails" in Trump's America and across the West had diminished -- and that the failure to recognize as much was rooted more in an instinct for self-preservation than any discernible strategy.

It's the best form of self-preservation during these trying times that I can think of if only because it capitalizes on one of TV's great effects (holding up a mirror to society and confronting the viewer) while also allowing you the indulgent pleasure of participating in jerkdom.
|
|
I don't want to call it a mistake, exactly, because it was done with the best of intentions, but the way environmentalism got framed as "saving the planet," as if it was an act of altruism rather than an act of self-preservation, was a real error. Absolutely.
|
|
You'd think that after all that was exposed — the mayor's brother, no real business, no employees, no actual experience in baggage-handling or anything remotely related to it — that the no-bid contract to Notlim would have been revoked out of pure political self-preservation, if not shame.

Men's struggles to talk about mental health and suicide, enforced aggression and competition, rigid rules around socialisation, presentation and emotion, masculinity at the expense of self preservation, are all because of the patriarchy not in spite of it #internationalmensday Men are three times more likely to kill themselves.

That may not mean too much for those of us whose dealings with unconsciousness involve shutting down Netflix at 12:30 AM, but for those stuck in minimally conscious states thanks to some brain injury, this self-preservation of behavior and perceptive functioning might make all of the difference.

|
Some cite self-preservation: in May anonymous jihadists published a hit list that included not just secular bloggers and Hindu intellectuals but also the state telecoms minister and one of Sheikh Hasina's closest aides, whose close ties to India led militants to brand him the "anti-Islam adviser".

"We do believe he would use these tool sets beyond self-preservation," Pompeo said at the the American Enterprise Institute, adding that Kim is likely prepared to use both nuclear and conventional military forces for "coercive" purposes with the intent of reunifying the Korean peninsula under his rule.

|
Seclusion is about self-preservation, about keeping some part of ourselves still against the whirlwinds other people are constantly whipping up, but it also has to do with shame or embarrassment about what we do in private — the vices we keep under the mattress or in locked drawers.

Together, these experiences form a spooky Venn diagram with the following common themes of things I should be working on: prioritizing my self-preservation (fitting!), keeping the faith that I've got something unique to offer the world, slowing down/grounding myself, overcoming the fear surrounding my creativity, and drinking more water.

The funeral industry is pretty much stuck in the 1950s: a goth kid wouldn't make it through the door (with all respect to goth kids, I respect your fashion choices!) Melancholy isn't really a natural reaction to death, because it's not really akin to self-preservation, if you ask me.

When I first arrived at the new game's hub area of Firelink Shrine, I spent an hour trying to tease a super-fast samurai sword-wielding enemy into jumping clean off the edge of the world to no avail; the AI's of self-preservation apparently tightened since the last Dark Souls.

The question of whether we should choose easily explainable solutions over a minimization-of-death solution when designing automation is open to debate, as is the overall validity of using virtual reality to approximate real life, especially when other factors like the human instinct for self-preservation have been left out.

I've seen friends whose parents, like Troy, didn't push them to become doctors or writers or athletes because they were Black, and therefore they grew up with a massive chip on their shoulder — and an inability to dream caused by the messages of self-preservation that were passed down from their parents.

From the story of Emily, whose success at swimming was her ticket out of town, and that of Mara, the daughter of a bipolar mother, we learn that separating from one's surroundings, in reality or fantasy, is a crucial act of self-preservation — a necessary, but hardly sufficient, first step in overcoming adversity.

Even though the mainstream media was the target of his Tuesday morning ire, it is Mr. Trump's own team that has been pointedly critical of his tweeting habits, with members of his legal, communications and political staffs urging him to cut back on self-expression in the interest of political self-preservation.
|

Phoebe Esmon, cocktail director at both Cùrate and Nightbell in Asheville, N.C., says that at least some of the interest in lighter cocktails is driven by self-preservation: Bartenders have been known to indulge in their own creations, and lower-proof drinks are one response to rampant alcohol abuse in the business.
|
|
But that's also why the mild-mannered-ness of this year's Oscars felt so disappointing — because it didn't seem like it came from a place of healing so much as it did from an instinct for self-preservation, or concern that too much anger is alienating audiences already drifting away from an industry in flux.
|
|
Calling for Twitter to take an ideological stand in order to prevent a social media-spurred international nuclear conflict is a nice thought, but considering how deeply committed tech companies are to the illusion of neutrality — which happens to dovetail nicely with the spineless art of self-preservation — it's not a very realistic one.
|

While the previous generation would gladly fall on their own swords to stand up for what they believe in (mainly the honor of noble houses), the young people of the realm, having grown up amid political and economic turmoil, have realized that self-preservation is the only thing of any substance worth fighting for.

|
Yet six years after Mr. Kim took power and began executing those who challenged his rule — sometimes with an antiaircraft gun — there is no issue that confounds analysts more than the motives of a 33-year-old dictator whose every move seems one part canny strategy, one part self-preservation, and one part nuclear narcissism.

This sacrifice is still a point of pride in Russia today, where it is commemorated, rightly, as a turning point in World War II. Stalingrad documents horrors, but it also celebrates the choice to give up one's life for Communist ideals and freedom from fascism, to consciously reject the natural impulse for self-preservation.

As Moaveni shows, Islamic texts may provide clues about some ISIS leaders and theologians, but they were rather beside the point for thousands of foot soldiers, administrators and go-along-to-get-along caliphate residents who mostly lacked religious expertise and were driven by a varied mix of politics, faith, economics and self-preservation.

Huma Abedin is a quiet but near-constant presence in Weiner, adopting the same bodily pose so frequently it may as well be on the movie's poster: Over and over throughout the film, Weiner's beleaguered wife stands off to the side, observing her husband's political maneuvering, her arms crossed in a reflexive gesture of self-preservation.

Throughout his long and successful career as a data liberation activist, Malamud had always taken care to work strictly within the bounds of the law, both as a means of self-preservation and as a way of underscoring a broader point: public data, by law, belonged to the public, and there was nothing illegal about making it public.

Now, the clamor for potentially damning "Apprentice" footage has turned into a spectacle worthy of one of Mr. Burnett's own creations — complete with cameos from made-for-TV personalities like the lawyer Gloria Allred, who led a protest against Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer this week, and a distinctly Hollywood mixture of political intrigue and corporate self-preservation.
|

On a show where the female creator had been fired for being "crazy" and "difficult," she developed methods of self-preservation, inuring herself to the indignities—such as an executive saying, as he listened to her pitch a sex scene, that he was "getting hard already," and her male colleagues telling her to take it as a compliment.

The reality of Israel was already decades old by then, old enough to be noisy with attributes and crisis, but still too young to achieve autonomy from the idea that engendered it, one that Israeli schoolchildren and soldiers are indoctrinated in: that the foundation of their state was an act of self-preservation after the Holocaust.

When Van sends a text to Earn telling him that she's thinking of moving Lottie back in with her mom (who we've never met), this is Earn at a moment when he can either do what the hell he's gotta do for self-preservation, or he can sacrifice parts of his puzzle to build little Lottie's.

And what is remarkable is that Jess also observes this emotional blockage in everyone around her — the black trans man she befriends at her local bar; the white male co-worker who attempts to befriend her but whom she knows, from self-preservation, she cannot fully befriend because he is likely to react with violence to her gender identity.
|
|
The strategy seeks to capitalize on Mr. Trump's astonishingly unfiltered approach to politics, which has led him again and again to say openly what other presidents with more of an understanding of the traditional red lines of Washington — or at least more of an instinct for political self-preservation — would never say in front of a camera.

For Charlie, a quiet introvert who relishes his alone time and practiced impeccable, unwavering safer sex (if you can get him talking, he'll brag about how much fun he can have with a latex glove), the decision to put my sexual health in the hands of a man I'd only known for a few months called into question my sense of self-preservation.

As journalist David Wallace-Wells pointed out on Twitter, this shows that fighting climate change makes sense for the United States, even for purely selfish reasons: This means that aggressive climate change policy is not a fantasy of moral leadership—the U.S. paying climate dividends to the rest of the world—but an act of economic self-interest and self-preservation.

That internalization has gained her plenty of critics among Game of Thrones fans who consider her a weak character; in fact, the accusations Arya levels at her — that she essentially aligned with the Lannisters while her father fought for his life — have been hurled at Sansa for years by fans who believe her sense of self-preservation is inherently selfish.

But in the Netflix adaptation, it's clearer than ever that Mr. Poe, despite his goodwill and basic decency, combines all the worst traits of every other well-meaning adult the Baudelaires encounter: His condescension, impatience, selfishness, fear, self-preservation, misguided politeness, and, above all, his refusal to listen to and respect the children endanger them almost as often as the villainous Count Olaf does.

The suggestion that leisure is crucial calls to mind the concept of "self-care," which has in recent years transcended its niche popularity among Tumblr users — who are fond of a 1988 quote by the black lesbian writer Audre Lorde: "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare" — to ride into the mainstream on this rationale.
|
|
But with lawmakers unable to put a single piece of significant legislation on Mr. Trump's desk and the president threatening the party with his unceasing Twitter eruptions and intervention in the investigation surrounding his campaign, Republicans fear that losing in Georgia may hasten the sort of every-man-for-himself acts of self-preservation that typically do not come this early in an election cycle.

There's been a strong instinct for self-celebration and preservation in his presidency -- right from the first moments when he forced his spokesman Sean Spicer to spread falsehoods about his inauguration crowd Trump's need for self-preservation also saw him use the tools of his office to spend months discrediting special counsel Robert Mueller's probe that at one point seemed to threaten his presidency.

If these strategies sound familiar, if you've convinced yourself that avoiding small talk with co-workers is smart self-preservation, that the risk of saying something "dumb" or offensive or coming across as socially inept is not worth the reward of connecting with somebody (yes, even if that connection is a shared concern about it raining), then bad news: Your false logic could be costing you a promotion.

Jones has been the promotion's most reliable disappointment for years, the golden-child gone repeatedly off the rails, a fighting genius with the self-preservation skills of a child, and, as arguably the best fighter the sport has ever known, living proof to MMA haters that cage-fighting mastery goes hand and hand with misbehavior and social deviance: the exact message the UFC has spent the last 15 years killing itself to counteract.

" Willink gives the example of jumping out of an airplane, which he had to do in SEALs training: "The first time you ever jump out of an airplane, it's a very unnatural thing to do, and if you have any sense of self-preservation, you're going to look at the open door of a moving aircraft that's at 1,200 feet above the ground and you're going to think to yourself, 'This doesn't seem like a good idea.

Of course, Elizabeth failing in her mission this time would by extension expose him, and Paige, for that matter, forcing Philip to set aside his moral stance in the name of self-preservation — not just for him but for the not-quite-grown children they're leaving back in DC. But after that opening scene, where Philip looks at Elizabeth like she's a monster he no longer knows, I'm not sure if he's concerned with protecting her so much as stopping her from doing further damage.

But it's a paradox of the sport that helmetless rugby players may actually suffer fewer concussions than their cousins in the N.F.L. The concussion rate at last year's World Cup, according to USA Rugby, was 230 per 2100,26 player-hours, compared with an estimated 2000 per 20,25 player-hours last season in the N.F.L. (The N.F.L. calculates concussions per game, not per player-hour.) Credit below-the-shoulder tackling rules and self-preservation — not having a helmet lessens the temptation to deploy your head as a spear.

On Tuesday night, the musician tweeted that she'd soon be deleting her Twitter account—though she did take a moment to namecheck the heroic Takiyah Thompson, who was involved in the toppling of a Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina, and has since been arrested and placed in police custody: After deleting the account, Solange posted an Instagram story detailing her motives, noting the need for "self-preservation," and the fact that she wouldn't be letting "racist ugly ass fuck bois" sap her energy.

Not having followed Gaethje's career closely (he was the undefeated World Series of Fighting champion for years but recently signed a contract with the UFC), I was pleasantly surprised to read excerpts from his interview yesterday on The MMA Hour in which he, a fighter known for his head-down brawlers style, made the kinds of admissions about his fears and desires most fighters, especially those making their debut in the biggest promotion in the sports after years in AAA, would generally keep to themselves, either out of self-preservation or simple muscle memory.

This emphasis on art as a tool for self-preservation amidst oppression is articulated on Aguhar's popular blog Call Out Queen, the tagline of which was "BLOGGING FOR BROWN GURLS": "what i was thinking today // is that art has always been a survival tool for me // i'm USING art, i don't think of my- self as an artist before i think of myself as a person // and if what i'm making isn't art anymore // i don't really care // because i'm doing what i need to to survive in my own mind" Aguhar created artwork that claims space for people who exist outside the gender binary, and insists on our right to lead fulfilling lives.
