I hadn't actually thought about the "fear" connection because I interpreted Peter's aversion to attention as a clear want rather than a fear driven objective. Nonetheless, I think that fear -- in the long term -- isn't the best fuel for creativity and -- in the short term -- simply isn't fun or healthy. Peace. Great observations J.
