In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the complex and often misunderstood nature of terrorism. While terrorism is frequently perceived as a major threat, statistics reveal that the actual risk of becoming a victim is remarkably low. Since 1968, international terrorism has claimed fewer than 400 lives annually, a stark contrast to the tens of thousands of deaths caused by other common hazards like traffic accidents and accidental poisonings.
Join us as we explore insights from renowned thinkers like John Allen Paulos and Steven Pinker, who illustrate how media sensationalism and government responses post-9/11 have amplified our fears. We discuss the unintended consequences of these heightened anxieties, including how fear of flying after 9/11 led to an increase in car accidents.
Additionally, we examine the historical context of terrorism and its failure to achieve political goals, drawing on the research of political scientist Max Abrahms. Discover why terrorism often backfires and how ignoring its fear-driven narrative can be a more effective strategy.
This video is essential for anyone looking to understand the real impact of terrorism, the psychology behind our fears, and the importance of rationality in addressing this persistent issue.
