VideosHumor by Joey Paur

There are a lot of things in this world that people are frightened of. Everyone has something they are afraid of and there are levels of fear. Also, some people are more afraid of certain things than other people.

Michael Stevens of Vsauce dives into fear and explores “the dark recesses of the mind to learn how fears are born and whether there exists a grand, unifying terror.” In the video, he discusses how these unpleasant feelings of fear are triggered in our brains and also tries to answer the question… “what is the scariest thing?”

I have a good amount of fear in my life of lots of things. I used to be deathly afraid of spiders. It was embarrassingly bad, but after living in a house where spiders were all over the place and just a normal thing, that fear went away. My fear of spiders is gone. But, my fear of heights and crashing in an airplane are still very much present in my life.

This is actually a very fascinating video that is filled with knowledge to learn from, so check it out when you get a chance!
