And to me, I'm like, that doesn't really change anything for me.

Let's say, okay, nuclear winter is completely bunk and we have 100 nuclear warheads go off around the world.

We're talking about hundreds of millions of people dying from the blast, from the outside impact zones, from the radiation, from...

The, you know, water supply being poisoned.

I mean, like, to me, that doesn't change it at all, really, like, because, again, the question ultimately, to me is, should, you know, 10 people, maybe we say 50 people, if we count like their courtiers and their, you know, people on their staff, 100, maybe, right?

Should they be in charge of and have the capability to kill hundreds of millions of people?

Another 30 million years.

I can live with that.

We spoke about 1816, that year without summer.

That's how I feel.

I'm like, okay, maybe, you know, 10 billion or, you know, 5 billion people don't die.

Maybe it's only a couple hundred million.

I'm like, still, I just don't know if a small select group of people that don't care about the individual interests of humans on Earth should be in charge of that type of power.

Yeah.

I mean, if during this conversation, we both had guns pointed at each other, you know, I don't think you would pull it.

You don't think I would pull it, but it still would make me very uncomfortable to have a loaded gun pointing at me.

And maybe you knew that if you pulled it, I would also pull it and we would both go.

So you won't do it.

But still, what if neither of us had a gun pointed at each other?

Yeah, and maintaining and developing.
