Why all the worry about one wrong decision turning everything to dust? We were lucky to have a Petrov around then! Just think of how safe we will be with AI and Skynet in use!! We have nothing to worry about, do we?

Perhaps the best solution for this problem is to obliterate states! If there are only people dealing with people (another way of saying individuals dealing with individuals) and no imaginary constructs called ”intermediaries” or states doing the work of the psychopaths that usurp power, maybe peace would prevail.

Man, this article hit me hard. The idea that one wrong call could end it all, like Petrov almost faced in ’83, is chilling. Those 50-megaton Satan II missiles are straight out of a nightmare—way beyond what hit Japan. Smith’s point about states funding this insanity through taxes and inflation makes me rethink who’s really in control.

Truly! One wrong decision and everything turns to dust.
