Inside Terrorist Attack
We think we’re in our heads when we scroll past a headline about a terrorist attack. But here’s the truth: most days, it’s less about the event and more about the chaos we imagine. A 2024 study in Psychology Today found 68% of Americans overestimate danger when gap news flips. That’s not paranoia - this is a cultural reflex.
