Dr. Fisher, fearologist-educator-philosopher, shares some excerpts from the documentary film "All Illusions Must Be Broken"--these are quotes from lectures and an interview recording the voice of Ernest Becker, the great cultural anthropologist and philosopher, the author of The Denial of Death and many great works of existential thought and research he gathered across disciplines and cultures for decades. The quotes read by Fisher are from the 1970s. There is a focus on children (socialization and education) specifically in these quotes and Fisher elaborates how critical it is to pay attention to what we tend to defend off and avoid thinking about when it comes to children and their existential struggle which is part of life.
"All Illusions Must Be Broken" (words of Becker) is a film by Laura Dunn (Editor/Director) and Jef Sewell (Director of Photography). It will be released to the public in the next few months.

ERRATUM:
It was 1974 that the interview with Sam Keen took place. (I said, 1973 in this video).
