The warrior ethos is the result of an iterated hawk-dove game.
In the hawk-dove game, playing ‘hawk’ only works if the ratio at which you value winning over surviving is higher than your opponent’s.
Gaining the ‘warrior ethos’ requires driving the amount that you value surviving down to epsilon, so that no one can successfully back you down with a threat to your life.
