Abstract
Small events, little things, can have significant consequences. Terrorists might seek scenarios which yield huge results with small investments and better yet, function below the threshold of detection. Frauds, small thefts, incessant hacking and harmful memes, and destructive social media are only a few examples. The butterfly effect in a chaotic system can trigger vastly different outputs within a relatively short time. Almost unperceivable changes can cause devastating effects—similar to the frog that is not afraid of the tepid water that's gradually brought to a boiling temperature, but finally gets cooked. Here’s how our freedom went; we can barely remember the steps.
