And that's why I'm here. [ sets a hand on their head. ] I don't think they necessarily need to be afraid of it. Maybe they can enjoy it, like me, but... perhaps they'll figure that out themselves. In the meantime, I do think combat is something we should figure out how to teach them. If they do encounter something or someone and we're not there I don't want them getting hurt.
...and that's one thing that separates us. I'm not afraid of what can kill me. The things that can kill me are what excite me. But I will say that, yes, managing fear is important. Being able to still act while under extreme duress IS important, because if you can't act, then... [ you may die. ]
Mm, true, but what I don't really appreciate is our robot taking all of that to heart without a second though. It may not know better, but life is more than all of the negativity the other one dumped on it.

Fight impulse without a dose of fear is a bad idea unless someone is real good at fighting and our robot child is made of cardboard.

Lack of fear isn't good to teach. How to manage that fear is.
And combat has its uses, yeah, but not when the violence is directed at someone whose said something upsetting because they're hurting.

Re: DISCUSSION
And also why piling more negativity on it isn't better. Violence without connection or joy just means someone only hurts others to not feel empty.
