      I don’t feel like entering a debate on this right now, but I believe it is.

      I agree that Thanatos *can* be conceptualized as an oversimplification of other phenomena, but I think there was a serious flaw in Freud's thinking about it (that's more than just oversimplification).

      Although this wasn't Freud's error, it's incorrect to conceptualize Thanatos as "risk-seeking" because a more parsimonious explanation to risk-seeking behavior is actually Eros (the "Life Drive" or whatever).

      Similar reasoning can be applied to Freud's explanation of Thanatos -- everything can be explained in terms of Eros or in terms of some other contingency, until there is no Thanatos left.

      I'm not familiar enough with non-orientability analogy to respond definitely with "yes" or "no," but there seems to be no psychology pointing towards Thanatos, yes.

      For an extreme example, consider the spiders whose mothers "sacrifice" themselves to become food for their offspring https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/09/spiders-mothers-cannibals-arachnids/ …

      What could be more "Thanatos-like" than that?! And yet even here, the only reason this occurs because the "directive to reproduce" (Eros in Freudian sense) takes precedence.

      The will to live is the will to die in the same way that all heat is of the same kind.

          Heidegger would call it Being-Towards-Death.
