All fears are unhealthy and unnecessary.

Think about this. There are two major parts of your brain. The lower, instinctual part, and the higher, cognitive part. ALL fears originate with and from the lizard brain. The higher brain is not responsible for these, as far as I know.

Therefore, you could say that our higher brains are striving to outgrow fear based reactions through logic and knowledge.

Fear is only helpful if it is keeping you safe, but if you have the ability to THINK, then you don't need fear to keep you safe. You can think and that will do a fine job all by itself.

For example, if I point a loaded gun at my own head, I have a fear response because I don't want to die. This is my instinctual self telling me, "Danger!" But I already know the gun is a potentially deadly object and anyone who knows the rules of gun safety (always treat all guns as if are always loaded!) knows better than to point the gun at themselves or anyone else, loaded or not (never point a muzzle at anything you do not wish to destroy). Therefore, fear of the gun or pointing it at my head does no good because I already have a higher reasoning and understanding of the dangers involved. Removing that fear of doing so does not remove my knowledge that the gun is a gun, and that the rules of gun safety state that I should treat all guns as if they are always loaded, and to never point the muzzle of the gun at anything I do not wish to destroy.

Fear is not useful for the thinking person. It is a hindrance that can be left behind and leaving it behind allows one to act more freely, and take direct personal responsibility for their actions and choices.

So running a sub that dissolves and frees you from your fears is not unhealthy or bad; it's simply requiring you to take personal responsibility for the freedoms that it gives you. You can think, and as an adult, you can certainly handle personal responsibility. Thus... no problem.

I get your point about being able to think for yourself without fear but fear isn't completely irrelevant yet. What you are talking about is valid and I don't want to be controlled by fear, but I think there are still cases where fear is relevant. If a gun is pointed to your head, fear wont help that situation. But if you are going to get hit by a train or you step on a snake fear jerks you out of harms way before you even have time to think. Thats the point. In situations where you don't have time to think fear will save your life. I forget the quote but its something like "only fools don't feel fear". Also thinking can't motivate you like an emotion can. Sure you can know logically that the tiger is going to eat you, but even if you decide to run you aren't throwing every fiber of your being into it because you are not motivated by fear.

Also I also think guilt and shame are definitely relevant too. At unhealthy levels and inappropriate times these emotions are bad, but they are important emotions. I took this off of a website: healthy shame describes the feeling of: “I have done something that goes against my core values and beliefs, and I feel badly about that,” while toxic shame describes the feeling of: “I am inherently flawed and defective and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.” MASSIVE difference. Taking completely away negative emotions is a bad thing.

Might be able to build both tonight. I had forgotten how fast these very short scripts can be built, even in 5G.

The prototype is so long that it takes me days and sometimes weeks to make a single significant adjustment, and then 8 to 12 hours to build it in one stage. These small scripts are a nice change of pace.
