Fear Factor

After watching "It-Chapter Two" last night for the third time from the master of horror Stephen King, the underlying theme of how fear can distort our view of the world and create lifelong challenges was crystal clear. The "fear factor" is a very real thing...or is it? Pennywise the Dancing Clown only existed by feeding off fear, not unlike humans who are nose-deep in the news that brings us every bit of low-level human behavior that does little to improve the human condition, but adds greatly to their anxiety levels. Add in my take on AI and a little help from Colin Hay, and it's another dose of common sense for uncommon times.
