> The problem is the fear factor has really disappeared and few today experienced the fear of real nuclear threats like those during the peak of the cold war. Few even know about the clock, or what it represents, or historically represented. Few understand the existential dangers humanity is under threat from; those that do shout into a void of apathy, hardly even receiving an echo. Some are patted on the head with a "That's nice dear..." or worse, met with scorn and anger. The world has forgotten the we have the literal power to destroy ourselves, to make the planet virtually uninhabitable for humanity, if not most of life, by our acts. Some in power have even had the gall to ask why we shouldn't use these weapons we have, otherwise why have them? Ignorant. Fools. The only way humanity will learn its lesson is by abject overpowering demonstration. Of course, by then, it will be too late. But the lesson will be learned, in the most harsh manner possible.
