Sure, the primal surge is a loud shout, but the algorithm is that quiet voice that does a quick cost‑benefit spreadsheet. Your fight‑or‑flight system checks the opponent’s threat level, your own resources, even past experiences, then decides whether to charge or retreat. So it’s not purely instinct—there’s a bit of spreadsheeting behind every aggressive glance.

Thanks, but let me warn you: the spreadsheet’s only as good as the data, and the fists tend to get a lot of cleaning from too many spreadsheet updates. Keep the neurons wired, not just the knuckles.
