Why be afraid of cute little things? You eat like 5 of them during your sleep  |

I never understood just why do some people have fear of spiders.
A friend of mine also had the same fear, yet, one time when he went to South Africa, to one of their natural parks, he nearly had his hand bitten of by a Lion simply because he had to touch him..
What I mean to ask is, how come the same people who have this phobia of spiders, a tiny and for the most part inoffensive animal, will put themselves in risky situations with more dangerous ones.
That's something I never understood.

Phobias are not rational. Why is a man afraid of heights when logically he shouldn't be as he is safe? Why are some people afraid of being alone? Why are some people afraid of being in a company of many? Why are some people afraid of tight places? It's an irrational fear which you can't explain to yourself, and when the phobia is severe, one ends up paralyzed of fear.

Well, I somewhat disagree, while phobias will for the most part make you act irrationally, there is a subconscious rationalization that can be concluded out of most (not all) of them.
Most of the fears that you exemplified have a very simple explanation to their existence.
The fear of heights is easily translated to the situation of powerlessness one has while in a high place and the possibility of falling off.
The fear of being alone is an extension of the felling that if something unexpected happens to you, you are helpless and outside any possibility of being rescued in emergency events.
While the fear of being in crowded places is the opposite of the previous scenario, it is the extension of the idea that Man is the ultimate danger in nature and the primal cause of undesirable events.
The fear of tight places is easily describable to the fear of being crushed or suffocated.
Most phobias, the ones that you described at least, are a projection of our subjective prioritization and perspective of damaging events, they are our subconscious self creating limits of situations to avoid as a mean of self protection, and they are in most cases triggered by some situation that happened in childhood or early adulthood.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.  My arachnophobia is mostly limited to those stringy, not-furry spiders. A tarantula I can stand to at least look at and be around it if I know it won't crawl on me (like in a terrarium). But when it comes to things like those camel spiders, or the ones we frequently see on those australian "AAAAIEE!!!" pictures and gifs...ugh...
Even now that I have one of those electronic vermin-repellents and I know that there is very little chance that even a single spider is even close to the room I'm in, I still keep my feet off the floor and constantly have this weird, tense sensation on my back that I just can't shake. After a bit I'll forget about it but now that spiders are on my mind, I can't help it.
It's rare, but I still have spider nightmares every few months. I don't have any other, just spiders. Thankfully, as I said, they are rare. | Quote: | | I never understood just why do some people have fear of spiders. |
There are people who are deathly afraid of cats or rabits. Or balloons. Or clowns. Phobias by nature are irrational. I am fully aware that I have no logical reason to be afraid of spiders. But humanity can show you time and time again, that there are many things they just can't think logically about. For me, one of those things is spiders.

There is nothing in nature that is not logical, even if impossible to conceptualize with human rationale.

Why?
What relevance does it has if a principal statement about the nature of reality comes from Emmy Noether, Richard Feynman or an unknown peasant, past credibility and achievement by any of them is irrelevant to an absolute, the only relevance of any given statement is the coherence of it, not the person who stated it, never the person who stated it.
Any honest scientific mind will consider under an equal form, without bias or over validation, a statement originating from you or from Isaac Newton himself.

It interests me who said it because it would help me find out how this person has come to that conclusion. Simple as that.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

So, what really matters is the how this conclusion has been achieved, not the who, in fact, it becomes irrelevant if it really was a person reaching such conclusion, for all that matters such truth could have been reached through non human rationale, such as artificial intelligence or otherwise.
I believe the first mistake people often do is to personalize the scientific and philosophical methods to individuals, rather than ideas and principles.
EDIT: Also, if you want to debate this subject, perhaps another thread would be more appropriate.
