Yeah.

I think right now could have been scary if it was discovered in like Iran or North Korea.

But, you know, let's say in the 90s in the United States.

The world would have looked a lot different than it does today.

Or certainly even back then, if it was discovered in the United States, maybe it could have been different as well.

It's hard to tell.

But, you know, we are emotional creatures and we react to ideas and things and people in an emotional way.

And then we use all sorts of logical explanations to justify why we feel that way.

But it always goes back to feeling.

And so you have that entire generation scarred by the image of the mushroom cloud.

And then you've brought up your parents.

Right after World War II, we go straight into the Cold War with Russia.

And this is a time where Russia and the United States are just stockpiling nuclear weapons.

And there's a fear of imminent nuclear attack for years.

It culminated clearly with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

And this was a period of about 10 days where people in America went to sleep every single night thinking, I'm not going to wake up tomorrow.

During the Cold War, kids were doing drills in school where they would duck underneath their desks in preparation for a nuclear attack, which, to your point, not a very good method to protect yourself from nuclear attack, right?

But again, just reinforcing that idea, this is dangerous.

This is scary.

Be on guard with this technology.
