Automating fear away
I’m a fearful person. Much of my life is spent building and maintaining stable systems that need to satisfy a high standard of reliability, and fear helps me make good decisions for that. Sure, it can hold you back a lot in life if you let the fear dictate behavior, but if you interpret it as a signal, it can be incredibly useful.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to harness fear as a power, a signal for things not being right. This only helps with rational fear, though.
Naturally, I’m affected by low-signal, irrational fear as well. This post is about dealing with it using technology.
