dear @artisticscreech
you have embarked on a very complex subject. You are right when you say that fear is a visceral emotion of the man who has always defended himself from it. Already here we could talk for hours, because the reactions to fear are endless: from attack to paralysis. But it is on the power that I would concentrate more, because it does great damage. It would be necessary to distinguish between "power over" and therefore the power that allows one to dominate over others and the "power of" or the power / capacity to do something, usually intended for the well-being of man. What changes? Well, the human variable that is not predictable is the thing that prevents us from knowing if we're going to the right or wrong side of the scale. A hope? Follow the method of "non-violence" by Gandi: I could not find any better example to teach our children.
Thank you for sharing

That distinction between types of power is an important one and, now that you bring it up, I think that is something that I probably should have touched on here.
The benefit that we get from things like innovation is a form of power too but it functions differently that the power that those who wish to oppress others are seeking.
