Those are hardwired instincts, not a conscious reflection on the fact that in the future things might be worse.

In fact they are limited to a specific behavior, like storing food, and not generalized across all things that could happen.

Fighting to defend territory or feeding offspring are strategies that prove successful for the survival of the species, not tied to consciousness of the future.

For example, zebras run away from lions, but only when lions chase them. They are perfectly fine with lions sitting around if all they do is sitting. They don’t think: “at some point that lion will stand up and chase me”

How on earth do you state all these things as facts? You are confident about the mental states of zebra? Why?
