Dr. R.Michael Fisher, fearologist.
I would highly recommend this talk (38 min.) I made 5.5 yrs ago. There is something in the simplicity of how I talk about fear(ism) and its applications that today I am much more complicating and for many listeners more confusing. Sad truth. So, it is good to go back to my earlier articulations. My point implicit is, that if you are only interested in managing fears better (short-term gain), and not interested in the path of fearlessness via an understanding of the philosophy of fearism, then I will not be much help to you as a fearologist. I am critical of the short-term quick-fix solutions to the problems of fear, individually or collectively.

I really enjoyed this talk, thank you. It is a perfect introduction to get a sense what fearism is about. I agree with short-term management of fear/s not being adequate (however very symptomatic of our present time psychology approaches, driven by 'quick recovery' in order to 'function'). Fearlessness is a journey, not just a step or a band-aid, right?
Oh good, glad you found it helpful. I agree with your assessment of "present time psychology" (of the mainstream, that is). A journey it is...
