Fears

L&G-

A random note regarding something interesting in a book I'm reading called 'In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day':

Humans only have two instinctual fears:

1. Falling down
2. Loud noises

All other fears are learned*.

*The corollary truth to this statement is that [any other] fear can be unlearned.
