Fear is a hard thing to deal with. I feel it quite strongly. If I think something is important enough, I'll make myself do it in spite of fear. But it can really sap the will. I hate fear, I wish I had it less.

What I'm trying to do is to maximise the probability of the future being better.

The tough thing is figuring out what questions to ask, but […] once you do that, the rest is really easy.
