When I ask for a domain to apply "cracks in the Google infrastructure" that Google has known about for at least 3 years and been unable to handle or correct, she responds with, "no thanks."
I call that FEAR. (and I say that with complete respect.)

Um, well, I agreed with you that we are on different planets ... that was your construct. And you said you visited a lot of sites where SEOs are full of fear. And I so I said that I personally don't feel fear based. But that doesn't mean I never feel fear. It's just not the place I start. I don't see the world as evil or feel as though I am in any way a victim.
Of course, I feel something approximating fear when someone essentially offers to harm something of mine. But that is not being fear-
based.
I generally believe that the world is good, that all is right in my world, and that there is enough business for everyone. I don't tend to feel competitive with other SEOs or other women. That doesn't mean that I
never feel competitive or never feel fear. I am human, and my faith that world is good is not always perfect.
The truth? You could probably harm my website and I would
very much prefer that you didn't. But it would not change my life in any truly appreciable way. And I know that.
Same goes with Google. While I do try my best to optimize for Google, I don't see Google as a God. I see it as the most important search engine. If my sites fall off the face of the earth as Google describes it, I will be unhappy, but I will not believe it was done maliciously to me. And I will know it's my job to fix it. And I will know that it's possible.
That's optimism. Yes, I am humanly capable of fear, but I am not fear based in my point of view.
