Janet Leigh did never again take a shower after "Psycho".
You are so vulnerable in the shower, can't hear a thing, you're naked, defenseless, …
Ethan Mollick makes a good point on BlueSky:
I understand the fear and anger. But also:
1) It is connected to the belief that AI is fake and going to vanish, which means that critics who should be helping shape AI use through policy and collective work are sitting it out
2) Lumping all AI criticism/talk into us vs. "tech bros" doesn't help

Windows 10 End of Life Fear: Part IV
I want to beat this topic into the ground as I love a good Y2K story like the end of Windows 10 and the mad rush to replace it.

The #USA is fast becoming a #rogue #state. The UK’s silence is deafening
The #US government has all-but laid out its plans to interfere in #European #politics to the advantage of the #FarRight
The #UK looks set to remain silent out of #fear. The #bully’s dream.
Look at how #Trump’s tactics worked on the #BBC, now too feart [afraid] to even let a world-renowned thinker call Trump “openly #corrupt”

Out of Fear
Out of fear, I let you go
Without a word or explanation
Without warning
Out of the blue, I set you free
The quilt and heartache
I live with every day
For I think of what could have been
I let you go because of fear
The fear of falling in love
For I yearn, yet I am terrified
Yet here I am with doubt
Your kindness and warmth
What I miss is your kindness
It wasn’t, it isn’t fair
I was wrong, I admit it
Shame on me for my decision
I don’t know if you’ll forgive me
Therefore, I am afraid to try
I fear rejection
As much as I need your understanding

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust — or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding and the confidence and the courage which flow from conviction.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1945-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

Republican-led SCOTUS' denial of Texas case fuels book-banning fears

In the occurrence of unpleasant things among neighbors, fear comes readily to heart and magnifies the consequence of the other party; but it is a bad counsellor. Every man is actually weak and apparently strong. To himself he seems weak; to others, formidable. You are afraid of Grim; but Grim also is afraid of you. You are solicitous of the good-will of the meanest person, uneasy at his ill-will. But the sturdiest offender of your peace and of the neighborhood, if you rip up his claims, is as thin and timid as any, and the peace of society is often kept, because, as children say, one is afraid and the other dares not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Prudence,” Essays: First Series, No. 7

FACING THE HURRICANE

"A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed look at how the psychedelic drug psilocybin facilitates the unlearning of fear in the brain. The research reveals that the drug does not simply boost learning capabilities but specifically coordinates the suppression of neurons holding traumatic memories while recruiting new cells to encode safety. These changes in neural activity patterns were found to predict how successfully an individual could overcome a conditioned fear response."

Fear is likely being measured live by X and Meta so adolf trump gets immediate feedback on the effectiveness of his fascist outbursts, and they can then adjust messaging as needed until the appropriate level of fear is gained over the target population. It would be a failure of fascism to have a captive and complicit population and not use them.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

It's hard to believe a majority of Americans have decided to do nothing versus fighting to unseat the criminals in our government.
Have people failed to notice - weekend protests aren't doing a damn thing.
In case folks haven't noticed, the government is ignoring court orders, SCOTUS is making illegal changes to the Constitution, thousands of people are being fired, & others are disappearing & dying.
The 2nd Amendment? This is the time in space it was written for.
Scientists map how the human brain learns and processes fear
Researchers from the Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona have created the most detailed brain map to date showing how humans learn fear. Led by Enric Vilajosana, Miquel Àngel Fullana, and Joaquim Raduà, the study analyzed data from 42 previous experiments ... [More info]
Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.
