‘It is a time’, he explained, ‘when many good things are created in the world and the progress of science and technology has made it possible to solve many human problems, to overcome diseases, famine, etc., on one hand. On the other hand, it is for the first time since God created human beings that humans have taken hold of such means of destruction that the whole of our race and even the globe itself can be destroyed instantly’.
Not too sound like a nudge or anything, but I kinda wish the Rabbi had stressed the nightmarish Frankensteinian turn of the sciences and the billowing arrogance of the humanists rather than the old leftist bugbear of global thermonuclear destruction.
True. Short of islamics nuking something the only nukes wars I see is India-Pakistan or N.Korea-neighbors (to end very quickly with S.Korea becoming an island).
