Hi, Ty. My name is Charlotte. I'm calling from Toronto, Ontario, and my question is, what is fear, and why

were we born with it? So what is fear? Fear may suck, but back when we were cavemen people, it helped us survive, you know?

Because without fear, you wouldn't really like be worried about the consequences of your actions.

Imagine if it's just like, oh look a bear.

With Fear, he'd be like, oh my, oh my God, what's a bear doing in the studio?

Oh my, ah!

Well, and without Fear, be like, ooh, a fuzzy thing that could, oh, that just ate a a person let's give it a hug you know fear

helps keep us in line so we don't try to challenge anything in the wilderness that could seriously harm us or even kill us and fear

also helps trigger our instincts you know if you're being chased by a bear it

helps you be like you know what I'm being chased by a bear let's run a little bit faster guys

You know and we actually have a lot of centralized parts of our brains that help us do these exact type of things

We'll breathe faster, we'll sweat some more, we'll get more adrenaline. Adrenaline's a thing where you're like, whoa! I'm all pumped up! Like I said before, no fear, nothing really to hold you back.

And it's actually pretty cool.

It's quite helpful and it helps us not do dumb stuff. To play the message press 2.
