This is the very definition of survivor bias. Just because being afraid of the dark used to be evolutionarily benefitial, doesn't mean we need to continue being afraid.

And yet succumbing to uncontrolled drug use for you means less likelyhood for your descendants to experience this survival bias themselves.

Survivor bias is literally an integral component of evolution.

However, I agree that all options should be questioned.
