Monsters like the absence of protons though

Yes- I’m glad he got over a fear but the logic is faulty. It would be more apt to say he realized a fear of the unknown was silly- the lack of ability to see or what might be in the unknown around us is often just that. Now if we can predict and explain an absence of photons that isn’t in itself cause for concern. But excluding any other factors, if we experience a sudden and unexplained lack of photons that could reasonably cause fear- in so much that no fear is strictly reasonable but is an understandable human emotion meant to aid our survival. So as far as “fear” goes- a fear of a lack of photons is a reasonable reaction. We must consider other external factors along with that lack of photons to determine what we are actually afraid of and wether or not it is reasonable under current circumstances to be so.

I understood none of that :/

Lol, translation: sometimes darkness is okay (or at least tolerable) and sometimes it could be bad. Decide on a case-by-case basis.

Thank you

Maybe he is
