It’s never a good thing when we’re notably further along to our own demise, is it? Especially when we don’t have any real heroes to turn to.
Moments like this make me wish the goddamn Batman were real. Were he here, he would not only prevent our own bit of nuclear annihilation, he’d be able to teach us lessons about our own mortality, letting go, and living for the moment. Unfortunately, he’s not present, and people have set the comic-book appropriate doomsday clock to five minutes to midnight, indicating that we’re on the brink of more nuclear badness than any one of us is anticipating. What would happen in the case of nuclear conflict? I feel like that even the pluckiest of us wouldn’t be able to survive. Only the people who have been able to stockpile valuable materials and minerals or those of us who acquired some type of survival training.
Everyone at Manolith would be dead. Most of America. You know who may weirdly rise up and become our rulers? Skeptical people. The ones who suspected this all along.
But how off-putting is it instead of calling attention to the fact that we need to disarm nuclear weapons, we just have a clock that may run out?
Why not? I’d love to have that also and support what you are thinking when you made this blog of yours. If I am going think closely we have the same thinking but different ways to let it solve. Anyway I still can’t erase the fact that you have a great process here!
