    Very little as I disagree with the things continuing on.

    We made it through the Cold War, but as any student of history will note, barely.

    This has, I think, given us a false sense of confidence and it’s like the drunk driver who claims that because they survived last night they will do so again tonight.

    I don’t 100% know things will go wrong but I do know that many different countries are A) pursuing nuclear weapons B) entering very politically unstable times and C) are just about to start hitting serious consequences as a result of climate change.

    America went from the richest country in the world to the richest country in the world, freaked out and elected trump. How crazy will other, nuclear armed, countries get when food and water become serious issues?

    There’s of course a good chance we pull through, drunk drivers tend to survive or the issue would’ve self corrected long ago. But I dislike being forced to participate in a global game of Russian roulette.
