Fear is a potent motivator and tends to inflict chaos on the otherwise rational mind. Once you know something or can even postulate a rationale then you are head and shoulders above the masses who must blindly accept what they are told. In taming fear through knowledge you can address the issues.... as opposed to addressing the REACTIONS to the issues.

Just the opposite Deleau. Although there might be come relieve in living our lives in bliss and ignorance many people have inquiring minds. I know you do that is one reason you are here. If I were to quit this site I would have to give up Sci Fi. In fact I would have to give all TV, Internet and the radio. However I am safe because leopards don't change their spots. I am who I am and like you I have now integrated this forum into my lifestyle. On the bright side if something terrible does happen we will have the comfort of knowing what likely caused it, unlike the majority of the population.

ICRCC and JAB well said!
