Unfortunately he can’t rememeber the title or who wrote it. Does anybody have any idea? His description is as follows … An old short story about some sentient spider-creatures/aliens that were both hyper-rational and extremely fearful? The idea was that their rationality somehow led them to be maximally afraid of everything. It is “decades old” at least.
