The audacity of the statement is that Carlos talks about
being a warrior and saying this or that makes you (or he) one.
(or not one)
That's just silly.

so its not about what Carlos said, but rather its about his definition of what makes or makes not a warrior?

So by 'individual' we are talking ego?  Or self importance?  Let's say we cling to our fear, hunger, love, pain etc because our self importance likes it/them. So I can understand what don Juan says in that context. 
Thanks or this quote E.

The point of the quote is that he's right - those instincts have to do with self-preservation.

Agreed. And the other audacity is that if someone couldn't accept his theory, they must not be much of a warrior either. The whole thing is silly. Yep.
