I think that humans have this tendency too romanticize the past. I am a history nut. I have probably read over 100,000 history books over the course of my life. Thats not counting all the history articles and magazines too. I truly believe that, in the western world at least, this is the best that human beings have ever had it on this planet.
I am way more concerned about someone getting a nuclear bomb into our country than another civil war.
“I truly believe that, in the western world at least, this is the best that human beings have ever had it on this planet.”
That’s indisputable.
“I am way more concerned about someone getting a nuclear bomb into our country than another civil war.”
A valid concern, but perhaps less likely than it might seem. It is really difficult to produce a high-order detonation.
