No, I don't think you got my point. Every human, as it is an animal, is hard-wired with a "flight" instinct. There is no "fight" instinct because we have no means to defend ourselves, physically, from most life or death situations. So we use our emotions to override that "flight" instinct, and face those dangers.
Such as:
Jumping in front of a car to save a child that's not yours.Self-preservation is at the height of any animal's instincts, however, we over-ride those with emotions all the time.


Those situations that allow you the time to be scared shit-less, usually don't require split-second thinking. They require your emotions to bring yourself through the situation. Sometimes fear is needed, it makes you more alert, focused to your surroundings, and aware of everything around you. However, there are times when only action is needed, such as an explosion, or 3 hungry lions chasing after you. It's either run or die, and emotions, like fear, aren't needed to tell you that.

so, saying the emotion side takes over for fighting response.....technically, the fight response is just an emotional side of us....therefore there IS a fight response.


and now....im glad you have FINALLY REALIZED..that fear is NOT stupidity, unlike what you said.
Fear can be more of a way of logical thinking if it makes your senses sharper.


join the dark side Njord....

Sure, but we create that response. You can't create instincts.

As Njord pointed out before, fear isn't needed when talking to women. Why would you fear rejection? It's an emotion you place on yourself, therefore, it can easily be over-ridden. It isn't an instinct.

Njord is a warrior, and fears nothing. If faced by 3 hungry lions, Njord's vains would course with blood-lust and anticipation of the challenge at hand. In Njord's eyes, fear is stupid. Sure, in some instances, it can be used. However, in most - if not all said cases, fear can be replaced by emotions/actions more beneficial to the situation.

and yet, some people still dont have the will to over-ride it. I know you know about the brain and all. As do I, and I'm assuming you might know a little NLP, as do I. But, when it all comes down to it....its all emotions and instincts, mixed together, and the brainpower to control it all.

don't flatter yourself

finally, Njord....this is the most intellectual thing you have said that's not very biased on your own opinion. This....what you just said, is the most respected thing i have seen you type. I like this side of Njord xD
