Evolutionary Dysfunction?

Nowadays, conventional wisdom suggests that being afraid is counterproductive...and perhaps that’s slowly becoming the case: where the imagined threats outnumber real ones, and fearlessness carries an adaptive advantage.

Back then, fear certainly had its place. Our successful ancestors had a healthy fear of their environment--and so, lived to see (and breed) another day.

From the perspective of these sacks of meat that carry our real selves around each day, no one should be fearless.

Fear is SURVIVAL.
