Unexpected or strange events rarely endanger us, but uncertainty about risk alarms us. That alarm clouds the perception we need to make good predictions, blocking the very insight we rely on.

Context matters more than words. Alarming phrases often reveal fear or frustration, not real threat; sometimes a calm “I can’t take this anymore” signals greater danger than violent language.

Unfocused threateners often change or add threats, revealing anger, not real menace. Their shifting statements show they seek emotional release more than they intend actual harm.

Aggressive callers using violent language rarely match real bombers, who are calm, patient, and calculated. True bombers act on anger through planned explosions, not impulsive threats or emotional outbursts.

We should stop treating anonymous threats as credible when evidence shows most are false—once our predictive confidence surpasses fear, we can respond rationally instead of reacting to every false alarm.

If a bomber craves notoriety so much, would he truly sabotage himself by granting police the time to find and defuse the very creation meant to secure his fame?

Even when threats seem serious and demand strong precautions, clients should avoid showing the threatener that their words matter—never display fear or treat the threat as highly important.

Threats draw power not from the speaker but from the fear they create. Fear is their currency—if the listener trembles, the threat turns to gold; if he stays calm, it’s worthless tin.

Threats, promises, guarantees, contracts, and commitments differ in cost and trust: threats are cheap words, promises seek trust, guarantees fix failures, contracts impose penalties, and commitments risk personal cost.

Promises show intent, but threats expose emotion—mainly frustration and loss of control. They reveal failure to persuade by other means, showing desperation rather than true purpose or plan.

Jack 2, empty of empathy, grips the pistol from the glove box. Rage and the urge to kill Tom drive him.

Jack’s fury peaks. He pictures taking his .22 from the car, ending Tom’s life amid the thickening fog, then driving off unseen, convinced he could vanish into the night without consequence.

Jack’s lack of emotional connection to others leaves his mind abnormal. Yet, most fail to notice his oddities until unusual events—like a car crash—make his psychological flaws clearly visible.

Jack’s normal brain forms empathy and love, giving him a strong conscience that links him to others. Now, that inner voice shouts at him not to kill, warning that taking a life is deeply wrong.

Evil isn’t a force or presence but an absence—a hollow where goodness or empathy should be. True evil is not something that exists, but the void left when humanity fails to fill the space with care.

Threats and promises are alike: both rely on the speaker’s will over time. Promises are kept more often, since threats born of emotion fade quickly. Easy to say, harder to keep.
