I am a firm believer in what I like to describe as the inherent doom and self destruction of human beings. Haven’t seen anything contrary to it and now we finally have the means to do it globally.
China will invent radiation proof giant glow in the dark war condoms.
People fully understand how to treat radioactive materials.
It’s as if it is natural, now.
We’re the only animal with nukes. That means we are better than them.
We, the powerful humans, and power is the only thing that matters, even though it can cause a shit ton of death and unhappinesss.
Really small nuclear molecules that can go airborn, and spread through the water system too.
Just a guess. I know nothing of nukes. Canada has no nukes.
If the world enters global war or collapses systematically it’s not just nuclear weapons you have to worry about in that there also is the threat of nuclear power stations unmaintained.
It doesn’t matter which nation has the materials or not in that enough nuclear material can spread around the world through various air jet streams.
Does humanity, the horde, always do only what it wanted?
The lust for power forces people to take chances. If they could perfectly calculate those chances, they would never do anything that they didn’t intend (sinless).
On the question of what is superior, living in the wild or civilization.
Why do you think living in civilization is superior?
I am of the mind that, it depends on the approach in inhabiting either environment, and the circumstances of each, and they’re relationship to one another (i.e. the power one imposes on the other).
Living in the wild, a greater level of self-reliance can be established. There is a risk, however, for loss of territory; civilization has adequate power to enforce its policies within your territory, and exploit it economically. When I say ‘wild’, I don’t necessarily mean a land unoccupied by foreign powers (rare or inexistant these days) but being entirely autonomous.
I also, do not mean, to live like a primitive person. Ideally, to cultivate the skills to exploit natural environment(s) and supply basic needs (shelter, food, water etc.). This is education, and ideally, more elements will be added to educate family members and friends. To hold a past together (no, it doesn’t begin there). Developing culture in the wild. A shared identity belonging “outside” of civilization. There’s alot of discipline in this. Again, it does not necessarily mean, to be outside of civilizations territory, just more outside, as opposed to being less outside, a countryside, for example, or even less outside, within a city.
From an energy perspective, perhaps it may seem like a great expenditure, when measured against the ease you can acquire this and that if you plug into modern economics, but, in the long run…
It’s also beautiful. Mountains, colors, multiple species, rivers, and so on. Pleasant to the senses, unlike the saturated modern climates.
I must add: this desire shared by many, to run into the wild, and idolize the indigenous primitive tribes from around the world as superior, is retarded.
