There are many who have continued to try to find another way to make meaning of fear, as this group of presenters is doing in their latest:

So many writers, and master thinkers, have spoken of the relationship of hope and fear.

I think readers will find us as two fearists in a creative exchange that was a lot of fun for me…

A colleague sent this to me, if you are interested what some grassroots, self-help groups are doing around the topic of "fear" these days.
I am not a supporter or not against such endeavors.
They have their pluses and minuses, from my perspective.…

May you or some one could post a few Trekky quotes, my computer doesn't play linked videos right now, it's old and needs to go eventually)... hey, I did find a few quotes from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" tv series... here's just one (from "Nightmares" episode, n.d.)...
Buffy has encountered the Master Vampire (a horrific looking creature) and Master Vampire says to her: "Fear is a wonderful thing. It's the most powerful force in the world, not love, not hate, fear. We are defined by things we fear. But fear is in the mind. Like pain it can be controlled. If I can face my fear it cannot master me.... I am free because you [humans] fear it."
Hi Veronika,
Unfortunately, I agree completely. I guess we have to find 'rare' exceptions to the general trend and support them and study how they keep the "culture of fear" at-bay, more or less. Oh, I love watching movies too, thanks for the leads. My daughters likewise back in the day, were big fans of "Buffy" and there were some great episodes that were explicitly about fear, but sorry I wouldn't have a clue what they were. I did take notes and quotes a few times. I'll have to find those and post them.
Hello Michael:

My daughters read and watch sci fi - especially from a generation or two past, and it is interesting how often fear dominates the scenarios. Here are a few examples:
