Is our fear of rejection part of common sense?

Hundreds of submissions a day are deemed uninteresting by HNers. This one at least hit the front page on its own merit.

"They have been honed by many, many iterations." For an environment and time that we no longer live in. Evolution honed our instincts for a reason, but this reasoning was good for jungles and savannas, not urban sprawls and concrete jungles.

I don't know if you've ever read the Bible, but in Joshua 1:9 God says "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid". God was telling Joshua and the Israelites the formula for success. I'd take The Book's word over what your book says any day.
