Abstract
Intelligence makes errors because it does not know their meaning of words (DB
psyops). Using words and understanding their meaning allows seeing the reality and
distinguishing it from what is not real. As the terrorists who have committed the last
terrorist attacks in Europe that, nowadays, we all called “radicalised” (extremist) but
that cannot be radicalised.
It is scientifically impossible to define as “radicalized” a subject that becomes
interested and gets close to religion practices all dogmas in a couple of months. The
cognitive process -that allows to encode the information- needs time in order to permit
the writing of neural cells in the brain (for instance, choosing to start the elementary
school at five/six years it is not a random choice as at this age the areas of the child’s
brain are formed and ready to learn).
Numerous studies have proven that for a radicalised individual to actually
change his/her behaviour and mind-set requires no less than 7-8 years, so that s/he can
interiorise content, ways of thinking and elaborations. These individuals can be defined
as “infatuated” and have different characteristics from those that a real radicalised
individual would have, therefore also the security algorithms used to identify these
individuals need to be based on different criteria otherwise they won’t be able to early
detect and identify the threat.

Keywords: bias, i-bias, gathering information, overcoming bias, terrorism
infatuated.
