In this episode, we take a rational look at terrorism through Yuval Noah Harari’s lens. Despite the relatively low number of deaths caused by terrorism, its influence has been greatly amplified by media and fear. Harari argues that in a world where political violence has dramatically declined, even minor attacks can spark national panic. He warns against overreaction and encourages a measured response rooted in intelligence work—not hysteria. As we explore the contrast between conventional and hypothetical future terrorism, such as nuclear threats, we ask: Are we giving terrorists more power than they actually wield?
