Amongst the many layers and aspects of the path of fearlessness, I would say a very important existential feature is to come to see how one may be in "denial of death" (e.g., see Ernest Becker's Pulitzer Prize winning 1974 book "The Denial of Death" and how this dynamic has shaped psychology and culture and virtually everything humans do and have done--any philosophy of fearism ought to engage deeply this exploration and one of the key theorist-critic-thinkers on it--that is, Ernest Becker). For more info. on Becker see my FM blog on him and his work in education (Fisher, 2020)
Update: Also a good film "All Illusions Must be Broken" by Laura Dunn & Jef Sewell (2024) will be released soon, and check out the interview with Jeff on a program about films and the human condition: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-denial-of-death/id1081584611?i=1000647919852
