2. The Law of The Velocity of Bad News:

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, except bad news.

  • In today's world of instant communication, bad news spreads faster than ever.

  • Our brains, wired to focus on the sensational, overestimate the likelihood of such events.
  • Terrorists exploit this by targeting famous locations for maximum media coverage, instilling fear in millions.
  • While some suggest censoring news of attacks, public demand drives coverage.
  • Ultimately, our fascination with horrific news reflects human nature's curiosity, rather than perverse tendencies.
