Hilarious.

The slightly more annoying version is when people nod along, but are terrified of the tiniest risk even with massive potential payoff.

I know, I've direct experience. But there seems to be some minimum of correlation in non-phobic cases.
And I don't buy it's all phobia.
Although this thread is more the spawn of late night frustration with people's BS. I should probably have slept on it.

A reduction of fear in death will not kill all other fears. I really wish it did.

that doesn't mean fear/acceptance of death isn't the most important on, I think it is, it's just not everything.

this is why Buddhist's etc... emphasize either complete-non-identification (with anything) or (Hindus) identification with everything.
