The article explains how ‘nudge theory’ can be applied to alleviate the incidence of terrorism. Nudges, which bring about a change in the environment in which individual choice is exercised, do not just modify the behaviour of individuals in a society but thereby influence the social environment which impacts both the human brain and behaviour. Thus, a nudge when appropriately administered to a large number of individuals can potentially bring about social evolution. This article seeks to reap dividends from this analytical argument by setting up an axiomatic system which captures present-day individual and social behaviour and then elaborates on the resultant social dynamics, which lead to growth of terrorism inducing intercommunity hatred. As humans can evolve, any axioms about human and social behaviour are not timeless. The article therefore suggests nudges for utilizing the bidirectional causality between the human brain and social environment to render one or more axioms toothless and diminish the societal propensity for terrorism. The recommended nudges include those that promote formation of mixed neighbourhoods by discreetly inducing more frequent interactions of a positive nature between members of hitherto hostile socio-economic groups; cultural exchange on neutral ground; and corporate social responsibility fostering the wellbeing of poor communities.

这篇文章解释了如何将“推论”应用到减轻恐怖主义事件中。微调不仅改变了个人在社会中的行为，而且改变了个人选择权所行使的环境，从而影响了影响人脑和行为的社会环境。因此，微调在适当地管理大量个体时可能会带来社会发展。本文力求通过建立一个公理制度来从这种分析论据中获益，该公理制度捕捉当今的个人和社会行为，然后详细说明由此产生的社会动态，从而导致恐怖主义的增长，引发社区间的仇恨。随着人类的发展，关于人类和社会行为的任何公理都不是永恒的。因此，本文建议使用微调器来利用人脑与社会环境之间的双向因果关系，使一个或多个公理变得毫无牙齿，并减少社会对恐怖主义的倾向。推荐的微调包括通过谨慎地诱导迄今为止敌对的社会经济群体成员之间更积极的互动，从而促进混合社区的形成的微调；在中立的基础上进行文化交流；公司的社会责任促进了贫困社区的福祉。推荐的微调包括通过谨慎地诱导迄今为止敌对的社会经济群体成员之间更积极的互动，从而促进混合社区的形成的微调；在中立的基础上进行文化交流；公司的社会责任促进了贫困社区的福祉。推荐的微调包括通过谨慎地诱导迄今为止敌对的社会经济群体成员之间更积极的互动，从而促进混合社区的形成的微调；在中立的基础上进行文化交流；公司的社会责任促进了贫困社区的福祉。
