#404 โ€“ Lee Cronin: Controversial Nature Paper on Evolution of Life and Universe

I am an optimist and I believe that humanity is going to get better and better and better, that we're going to eliminate more problems.

I mean, you have to integrate that into the... But we distribute the nukes-like population, right? What we do is we... I can't believe this. But anyway, let's just go there. So if a small nation with a couple of nukes uses one because they're a bit bored or annoyed... the likelihood that they are going to be pummeled out of existence immediately is 100%. And yet they've only nuked one other city.

I can predict a future where we take all nuclear material and we burn it for energy, right? Because we're getting there. And the other thing you could do is say, look, there's a gap. So if we get all the countries to sign up to the virtual nuclear agreement where we all exist, we have a simulation where we can nuke each other in the simulation and the economic consequences are catastrophic.

actual nuclear weapons I think they do in Argentina and they do in Somalia and they do in a lot of these places where no I I think this is a great idea I'm a strong advocate now for so what we come up with burning burning all the nuclear material to have energy and before we do that because mad is good mutually assured destruction is very powerful let's take it into the metaverse and

and then get people to kind of subscribe to that. And if they actually nuke each other, even for fun in the metaverse, there are dire consequences.
