In my case it's not that I've gained fear, it's that self-preservation is now worth more, mostly because I've spent so much time filling this brain with things. I'm legitimately worth more now than I was in my daredevil days, so I expend more effort protecting myself.

Well, one could easily make the opposite argument: the life of a young person is worth more because more life is left. Presumably that's why we find it more tragic when a young person dies than an old person.
