What material to deeply understand survival mechanics?

[Vynce]

Where ever I look, what ever I read I see that survival mechanics of the human psyche are rarely discussed or appreaciated as fundamental. Discussion of survival in the open media discurs stops at gros forms like animal survival. Not even in the context of corruption, culture war or egoistic behavior suvival structure is acknowledged. And we are not even speaking about unconscious survival mechanism. 

@Leo Gura did you tought all this stuff to yourself?

Because even though I have a fairly sharp understanding of it and can sense even sneaky survival mechanism pretty much everywhere, I couldn't explain it easy and straight forward to someone else, if I'd open a discurs about it.

No books, youtube channels, podcasts ect. excist about this stuff. Is there any public intellectual apart from Leo, that sees the significance of it?
