#TC02 : Understanding Instincts and Fear

Deciphering the Myth of Fear-Based Survival

Today we will hear Tom Campbell discuss the concept of fear, instincts, and consciousness within the MBT framework.

He challenges the notion that fear is always a natural survival instinct, arguing instead that it often leads to dysfunctional behaviour.

Campbell suggests that fear is not an inherent instinct but rather a response that inhibits rational decision-making and locks individuals into unproductive patterns. Through examples and analysis, he emphasises the importance of intelligence, preparation, and awareness in navigating potentially dangerous situations.Campbell advocates for a shift in perspective away from fear-based reactions towards a more reasoned approach to survival and decision-making.
