"On the one hand yes, I agree; on the other hand, such a situation is a good booster for us when we get a little lazy with our fearlessness!"

I am not going to try to explain my Fear Management Theory (FMT) here in this short blog post. I more wanted to just make some noise in all the silence and/or hoopla in the post-Nov. 5 epoch of what in my mind is an event so grand as to…

"So, Nov. 5, comes and goes, Nov. 6 comes and goes; I'm on a media (virtual reality) fast at the moment myself. But, I now have heard from others the election result. What is Bernie going to say now? "
Social media platforms (of which I generally totally avoid) are becoming extremely effective in influencing people's views and behaviors. Levels of fear and uncertainty are manipulated regularly through such platforms and their members, individually…

Dear Michael,
Is there a platform where I can find most of your earlier technical papers on Fear and Fearlessness?
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,

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:
There is plenty of fear around - on the ground in Europe and Middle East, not to mention the institutionalized fear that organizations including (especially?) educational organizations churn out and stew in. 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:
