How to regulate fear. Break it down between fear & danger. Fear is the thought about something bad happening. Danger is when something bad is happening. One is irrational, one is rational.

Yeah, well heart pumping and a cold sweat was useful when jungle cats and snakes were always around - not so much when going into a big scary business meeting with Sal the middle manager or Jerry the investor...
Exactly, there is very little danger around these days but many are consumed in a state of irrational fear that does not warrant the situation.

Tough to fight millions of years of evolution. Yet anxiety is not all bad, it evolved for a reason. Our collective worries about big things like climate change or fascism or censorship help steer the ship. Worried about choosing the wrong woman or going broke. Useful?

I don’t think it is useful tbh. Because it won’t help you either way.
