There is no evidence that fear leads to better critical thinking -- On the contrary, there is a great deal of evidence that fear tends to lead to irrational thinking (and consequently irrational behaviour as well).

Your internal reality and subjective experiences have an evidentiary value of zero to Me. Unless you're prepared to bring physical evidence to the table, evidence that can be tested in any properly-equipped laboratory in the world and produce consistent results, you have nothing that I want.
Oh, and you have no business whatsoever declaring that someone else's self-concept is false.
