That's all well and good until there evolve predators that have complex brains and can think about how best to approach you such that you don't know they're there

If you think just running away from predators you see and otherwise putting absolutely no thought into the existence of predators is sufficient you would not last long in the wild lol

That's absolutely not what I said and that's also not what "Thinking ahead and planning strategically" entails
