A visionary leader who can make these issues clear to people (haha)
The course of history and civilization will change.
Now, when you look back on our history, how often do we as a species anticipate and prevent the .001% calamity, and how often do we need to be neck deep in it before we realize that there's some trouble?
The only thing that's changed here- and it isn't us as people- is that once we're in it with nuclear weapons, there is no coming back, but so what? That hasn't changed people at all.
This is why we should all become more knowledgeable about nuclear weapons. Right now there is no political pressure to make things more safe because the electorate is largely uneducated.
Which has really pulled back the curtain on nuclear thinking. There's also a private members slack if you support them on Patreon, which is endlessly useful. And really, if you're going to support a podcast on Patreon, I can't think of a better case than the ACW Podcast:
"This is why we should all become more knowledgeable about [ANYTHING]. Right now there is no political pressure to make things more [ANYTHING] because the electorate is largely uneducated."
We can't get people on the same page with their health insurance... nuclear disarmament might be a big ask in that context.
