Sam Harris recently did a podcast about the dangers of nuclear weapons that I found really interesting: https://samharris.org/podcasts/210-logic-doomsday/ https://samharris.org/podcasts/210-logic-doomsday/ and there was one back in February that was really interesting, including all the accidents that almost led us into nuclear war: https://samharris.org/podcasts/186-the-bomb/ https://samharris.org/podcasts/186-the-bomb/ One interesting story is that of Lt Col. Stanislav Petrov, who questioned a US nuclear launch (which ended up being a false alarm) and may have been one of many people who have prevented am accidental nuclear war.
