Initial post on what I'm doing here.
18. Is there anything you could do to help solve that problem in the previous question?
I do what I can by making sure my decisions are not driven by fear, and undermining fallacious premises and arguments of those who encourage fear in others. I still don't know how to help fearful people decide which of their fears are groundless or misdirected, rather than give in to them. That would make a real difference. Trying to fight emotions with facts doesn't often work very well, or for very many people.
