The mad logic of fear We most fear the least likely dangers, and we’re often not afraid of the most lethal.
There’s a mad logic to fear. From one angle, fear makes sense. It warns us of possible harm or danger; that’s why fire is scary, and also bears, heights, and creepy strangers. But fear is also madness. That’s because the things we fear most are often the least likely to happen, and we’re often not afraid of things that are the most dangerous for us. Our number one fear is walking alone at night In a study conducted at Chapman University, 1,500 adults from all walks of life unveiled their greatest fears. Those polled placed their fears into four categories: personal fears, crime, natural disasters, and fear factors. According to…

Henry Koczur ate potato soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There was little else to eat. It was 1932, and Koczur was 16, living in East Chicago with his mother, father, and five siblings. In the midst of the Great Depression, work was scarce and poverty abundant. Thinking he would relieve his family of one more mouth to feed, Koczur did what many other teenagers did: he left home. Heading for California, Koczur thought he was going someplace where fields were bountiful and, he said, “a land where I didn’t think anyone could starve.” So, his journey began. “We caught a Southern Pacific passenger train to Niland, California, riding the…

From ballet to nylon: the strangest things to cause riots Some riots will be leaving historians scratching their heads forevermore.
When it comes to tension surrounding race and Super Bowl victories, rioting makes perfect sense. But occasionally, the strangest things—like eggnog and nylon—can induce a riot, leaving historians scratching their heads forevermore. Straw hats Perhaps one of the weirdest riots to ever take place was the Straw Hat Riot of 1922, when people were rampaging through the streets of New York and beating up anyone wearing a straw hat.

By the early 20th century, they were considered acceptable day attire in North American…
