How do we know Earth even has nuclear weapons anymore?
- darkpuma 7y agoCall it a less dumb Pascal's Wager of sorts. The possibility that they still exist is high enough that it's only rational to tread lightly under the assumption that they exist.
- dosy 7y agoSure (and cool reference,) but to me, "prudent to act as if they exist" is not the same as "they exist." Even if they don't, there's still much strategic utility to extract from pretending they do.
