Acting

Actions speak louder than words

Just talking doesn't help – we have to take action. Toward something nutritious. Or interested in reproduction. Away, as quickly as possible, from anything that considers us nutritious or could otherwise be dangerous. At this level, action works for all life.

Humans, of course, make it more complicated: we act socially and politically, try to achieve balance through inaction – we have to, because our brains also act while we sleep – and in all of this, we also learn. Yet unlearning is at least as important. And these are just a few of the possibilities within our scope of action.
